OpenMW 0.31.0

And once more ...
As seen here we are pretty close to becoming feature complete. All is going well and I don't really have much to say about OpenMW.
OpenCS is another case. We still lacking manpower. It seems right now sirherrbatka and I are doing the bulk of the work, which is just not enough. I certainly don't want to distract the OpenMW development by pushing people towards OpenCS. But if there are any inactive or retired OpenMW developers, I would be very happy to see some un-retire themself and help us out a bit (new people are also welcome, of course).
There are still plenty of tasks. Among these we have two larger groups:
1. User Settings
With a properly working user settings feature we are finally able to implement the missing user settings. There must be dozens of \todo comments all across the source by now. And we also have some tasks on the tracker:
- Editor: Rendering User Settings
- Editor: Column filtering
(the later not strictly being a user settings task, but it strongly depends on user settings, because that is where the filters will be managed).
2. Rendering
We are still not ready for the big rendering tasks, but there is a lot of smaller tasks, that could be easily tackled with a bit of OGRE knowledge:
* Editor: Render cell markers
* Editor: Render cell border arrows
* Editor: Render cell border markers
* Editor: Mouse picking in worldspace widget
Anyway, going for a new release every two months seems to work well for us, so we should stick with that.
