OpenMW 0.39.0
Posted: 29 Jan 2016, 15:15
And another one. Not a huge amount has changed since my 0.38.0 posting. Before I quickly sum up the situation again a few words about OpenMW 1.0
There have been a few question about when we will jump to the 1.0 version number. As you can see on the bug tracker there are still a few minor features missing (or at least parts of features). That needs to be taken care of. We also still have a large number of bugs. We should strive to fix all or at least all but the most obscure/insignificant ones before we release OpenMW 1.0
I would prefer to release OpenMW 1.0 and OpenMW-CS 1.0 at the same time, because that would save us a sizeable amount of work. However if OpenMW reaches the state described above, we will go ahead with the release anyway.
Back to 0.39.0 then.
Instead of reposting I'll just link my previous post.
We recently acquired two new OpenMW-CS developers and it seems for once they will stick with it. Maybe we can get at least one or two of the listed tasks done? No pressure, but that would be very helpful.
The camera task is still a major blocker. I hope it finally finds a volunteer, but if that will not happen I will at least implement one camera mode (probably orbiting) so that the tasks depending on the camera are opened up. However even a single camera mode will be a sizeable amount of work and I still have plenty of other stuff on my to-do list. Therefore I can't promise that I will have it ready for 0.39.0.
The time frame stays more or less unchanged. At the current development speed we should aim for a release in 1-2 month. Of course is things pick up again, we can have an earlier release.
