Sunday, November 13th, 2011

As Ogre 1.8 is due end of this year, it is finally time to get the release candidate versions out in the open for general testing to iron out any last quirks before the official release . As a first step we released the RC1 today.

The source code can either be downloaded from our official BitBucket repository or directly from the Ogre Source Download page.

If you should encounter any issues, please feel free to report them on our bug tracker and discuss them in the “Developer talk” forum section. More information can be found here.

Thank you for your support in advance!

OGRE 1.7.3 [Cthugha] released!

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

Another six months have passed, and it’s time for another maintenance release to the 1.7 stable branch (codenamed ‘Cthugha’). You can find a list of all the bug fixes after the jump. As usual there are no feature changes or API breakage in this release – we save those for the unstable development branch – which of course you can grab from Mercurial if you want to join us on the bleeding edge.

So far the source releases are ready for download for 1.7.3, the SDK releases are coming soon. If you don’t want to wait, give the source release a try :)

OGRE 1.7.0 RC1 [Cthugha] Released!

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

ogre_17_logoWe said we’d try to get this out before the end of the year, and with only hours to spare we just about made it! OGRE 1.7 has been under development for over a year now, and the time has come to draw a line under it and get it shipped as a brand new stable version. Unlike the maintenance releases we’ve been issuing regularly for 1.6, this release includes a huge number of new features and enhancements, of which the headliners are listed after the jump. Edit: I forgot to mention that this release makes official our transition to the MIT License – we’ve been using it in Subversion for a while so it slipped my mind that this is the first ‘official’ release under that license. So that’s news!

As usual, plenty of people have been testing it direct from Subversion for a while now, but even so we’re issuing it as a Release Candidate to begin with. Due to time constraints, we’re also only issuing this as a source release for the moment – prebuilt SDKs will follow in a second Release Candidate or the final.

For those of you using Subversion, the new path for Ogre 1.7 is now https://svn.ogre3d.org/svnroot/ogre/branches/v1-7. Otherwise, you can find the new release on the source downloads page.

Happy New Year!

OGRE v1.6.5 [Shoggoth] Released

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

ogre_16_logoWe just thought we’d sneak this one in before the end of the year! OGRE v1.6.5 is now officially released, which will most likely be the final official maintenance release of the v1.6 (‘Shoggoth’) branch. As usual it’s a stability and bugfix release for those in production environments, full details of which are available after the jump. All of the fancy new goodies are saved for 1.7 which should be out in Release Candidate form very shortly – or right now if you want to access our repository before the official release.

Enjoy, and have a happy new year!
