The latest maintenance release of OGRE is now available. 1.0.2, like
all maintenance releases, contains mainly bugfixes, plus a small number
of non-interface-breaking enhancements. However, most enhancements are
now going into the next major version of OGRE, codenamed 'Dagon' so the
focus of development on Azathoth is bugfixing and stability. Please
proceed to the downloads area to upgrade; note that the command line
tools have been updated as well as the source code, for those who use
them. Other tools, and dependency libraries, are unaffected.
You can find full details of the contents of this release in the main text of this posting.

Changes in this version:
- Added material exporting
- Added animation sampling (handle IK, other constraints
seamlessly)

Added optimisation of resulting animations (eliminate identity tracks,
collapse identical keyframes)
-
Fixed frame -> time conversion with varying Action bases
-
Reorganised GUI a little
-
Deal with case-insensitive fcurve references

Linux build fixes
-
Documentation bits and bobs I didn't have time for before
The binary release is just Windows, but as of yesterday night, it built
on Linux too so if any of you are using XSI on Linux it should work
there too provided you build it from source.

I've just updated the VC7.0 SDK for OGRE 1.0.1 since it came to my
attention that a couple of DLLs inside it were actually built against
VC6 in error. Apologies for this, I must have copied the wrong
dependency DLLs by accident. If you had problems with the VC7.0 SDK
asking for stlport_vc6_stldebug46.dll or stlport_vc646.dll, please get the updated version. Other SDKs are not affected.
