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 1.7.2, the SDK releases are coming soon. If you don’t want to wait, give the source release a try 🙂
Update 8 November: Prebuilt SDKs for Visual Studio 2008/2010, MinGW, OSX and iPhone are now ready for download, as are updated Ubuntu packages in our Launchpad PPA.

We’re happy to announce the first maintenance release to the new 1.7 stable branch (codenamed ‘Cthugha’), delivering as per usual a plethora of bug fixes which you can find a list of after the jump. As you would expect 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 and some of the SDKs are ready for download for 1.7.1, if your SDK isn’t updated yet, please be patient as these will come online soon. Or alternatively, try using the source release, it’s really not that scary 🙂
[edit] cg.dll was missing from the early version of the SDKs for Windows, we’re fixing this now, check for updates after 2 May 2010.

We’re very pleased to announce that OGRE 1.7.0 (Cthugha) has now been released, this version is now considered to be our stable release branch.
As usual you can find everything on the downloads page, and details of the changes since RC1 after the jump. You might also want to look at the original 1.7.0RC1 release announcement to see the major new features that were added in 1.7.
Source releases and Windows SDKs are up now. Edit: SDKs for OS X, Â MinGW, and Ubuntu PPA are now up too.
Enjoy!

We 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!

We 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!
