A new maintenance release of the stable 1.0.x branch of OGRE (codename 'Azathoth') is now available for download.
There are new source packages, Visual C++ dependencies, SDKs, and
several tool updates, so be sure to check out all the download
categories. A full rundown on all the fixes and non-interface breaking
enhancements contained in this release is available in the full detail
of this posting.
In case any of you didn't already know, the next major version of OGRE
(1.1.x, codename 'Dagon') is being developed in parallel to the stable
branch. Major enhancements and of course all interface-breaking changes
are going into that branch, and you can keep an eye on the roadmap on
the Dagon wiki page. We keep these development branches separate to guarantee stability and bugfixes to those using 1.0.x.

I'm pleased to announce that Jeff Doyle (aka 'nfz') has joined the core OGRE Team.
nfz will be well known to those who frequent the forums often (where
he's been an MVP for a while), and has in fact been tinkering with OGRE
since way back at v0.11 (several years ago now). Many of you will have
benefitted from his prior work on GLSL, ATIFS, and most recently his
material enhancements which are going into Dagon, as well as all the advice he gives to users on the forums and on IRC. Welcome!

A couple more featured project updates of note:
- Antharia has
been added; some frankly beautiful landscape shots which benefit from a
'painting style' post-filter. Yes, these are realtime.
- A couple of new shots have been added to the Ankh page
Once more I'm impressed by what our users come up with – we thank
them for showing what OGRE can do and giving us things to gawp at.
