So while OpenMW 0.46 is baking in the oven... time to have a good look at the OpenMW 0.47 development cycle and what goals, wishes and high hopes are for this release.

Some topics that have come up:
* additional GUI settings for shadows
* foundational work on Lua scripting sub-system (what it is and isn't)
* compatiblility with MOP (issues raised during end of 0.46 dev cycle)
* saved-game format changes that fixes bugs and improves performance
* improving NIF support
* ...

The ability to set the actors processing range to >7168 would be nice. I was trying to set it to 15,000 the other day, before I realised there was a limit.

This ability was intentionally blocked since it causes different kinds of issues.

Well ... I didn't mean to suggest it would necessarily be simple to do

saved-game format changes

Is this really happening in 0.47

Yes. Forwards-compatibility will be fine, but not backwards:

0.46.0 saves loaded in 0.47.0 will load just fine
0.47.0 saves loaded in 0.46.0 will not work.

So you will not be able to downgrade.

Is any work on the Gamepad UI likely to be worked on for 0.47?
