We had that feature before, but it was not working properly. Lights were flickering way too fast in some cases.<Bug #354>True flickering lights
I’ll mention this because it’s a visible change (which we are short on)
We can play videos now via scripts. Any video. The startup video does not play automatically, but if you want you can play it from the console.<Feature #39>Video Playback
Allows use to view all in-game cutscenes? What about the splash animations and video that loads behind the main menu when you start-up original Morrowind?
The ^-escape sequences are pretty obvious. You can see them in message boxes and NPC dialogues.What else should I mention directly? I mean aside from “numerous other bug fixes and engine improvements that make this release more stable, faster, and playable”.
The performance improvements focus on loading this time (both initial and during cell changes). The difference is pretty notable (apparently more so on Windows than on other systems) and deserves a separate mentioning.
Other than that we don't really have anything to show for this time.
(though it would solve the issue, and some others we could run into with Apple's OpenAL; quite a few people have switched to use OpenAL Soft on OSX). A more appropriate fix is to convert sample formats when we're given one the sound system doesn't support.
