{mosimage}It's been a month since the first official, final release of OGRE 1.2, so it's time for a maintenance release, getting out all the bugfixes we've been collecting over the last few weeks. Mostly they are small, quite specific or fairly niche items, since the 1.2.0 release proved to be pretty stable, as we'd hoped having done 2 release candidates.
Still, nothing is ever perfect so we'll continue to ship maintenance releases as and when required in parallel to new development effort. As ever, changes to the stable branch are non-interface breaking so you can upgrade from other versions on the stable branch easily. A full rundown of all the fixes contained in this release can be found by expanding the full detail of this post. Happy downloading!

We keep saying that OGRE is deliberately not a game engine, and
recently there have been some really interesting examples of it being
used for other purposes:
- fijuu2 is an interactive audio/visual installation which toured the uk as part of Cybersonica 06 recently
- EDM Studio have produced a 3D medical visualisation system as part of their aim of creating interactive virtual reality exhibits for museums and industry
- Seule avec loup renders choregraphics and users can interact with it via motion which is captured with a laser
- JCVR Head Inspection is a simulation to train inspectors of Harley Motorcycle engine parts
Whilst we love to see game projects made with OGRE too, it's always
refreshing and constantly fascinating to see the wider range of
applications using OGRE as a purpose-built drop-in rendering solution.

walaber, the author of the excellent Stunt Playground, has decided to release the full source code to his game under a completely free and open license. This will undoubtedly be of enormous help to those wanting a more complete / complex project to learn from, since Stunt Playground uses Ogre, OgreNewt, Newton, OpenAL and CEGui. Thanks to walaber for taking this step!

Anonymous CVS has been out of sync for a few weeks following hardware problems at Sourceforge, but they have now rolled out their new servers and the anonymous sync time is back down to around 2 hours – and we're assured that will reduce to nothing over time.
Note that the CVS servers have changed, for future convenience you should now access CVS via the alias cvs.ogre3d.org which we have mapped to the new server.
