We’ve just released a brand new stable version of OGRE, 0.15.0. The features in this release are far too numerous to fit in a news posting, so please read the full changelog for details. As usual, to obtain the new release, proceed directly to the Downloads Section. The source, demos and tools areas have been updated, so be sure to check them all out. No pushing please. šŸ™‚

You might notice the ‘Hastur’ moniker we’ve given this release branch. We’ve always run stable branches separately from the development branch, but to make it easier (and a little more fun), we’re going to give each branch a name from now on. The 0.15.x branch is known as ‘Hastur‘; the development branch which will eventually become 1.0 (the next planned stable release) is known as ‘Azathoth‘.

For those that are interested, both Hastur and Azathoth are entities from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, famous for Cthulhu and related mythos. And no, we won’t be calling any of our branches ‘He Who Shall Not Be Named’, before you ask šŸ™‚
