OpenMW 0.16.0

Also two more bugs:

1. Dead keys still do not work.

2. Inputting player -> addspell <NonExistingSpell> will make the command window throw "Error in framelistener: object <NonExistingSpell> not found" continuously. It will also prevent you from moving.

2. Inputting player -> addspell <NonExistingSpell> will make the command window throw "Error in framelistener: object <NonExistingSpell> not found" continuously. It will also prevent you from moving.

I think I know what goes on here. Will fix for 0.17.0. You can add an bug report to our tracker, if you want.

btw. please make sure to include all the important regressions in the release message. At least the dark texture problem and the addspell lockup.

Since there have been no changes in master since my build of RC5, I'm not going to bother building a new one.
On the other hand, seeing as someone had an issue with missing a directx dll, I was thinking we could perhaps also include the directx redist in the installer. Although that would probably increase the size of it a good bit.

[Rebel-Rider]

The DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer weighs in at 286kb so the size would probably not increase that much. But on the other hand, if you have Morrowind (or any fairly recent game) the probability is very high that you already have Direxct 9 installed.

It should be enough to mention it as an requirement in the readme file, or even better, during the install.

morrowind uses only DX7

Release announcement draft:

The OpenMW team is proud to announce the release of version 0.16.0! Release packages for Ubuntu are now available via our Launchpad PPA (https://launchpad.net/~openmw/+archive/openmw). Release packages for other platforms are available on our Download page (http://code.google.com/p/openmw/downloads/list).This version includes the Spell Window, Alchemy Window, and a myriad of fixes and improvements. Please review the following:

Known Issues:
- Some objects/models show up with completely black textures. Use OpenGL as your renderer or disable shaders under [Objects] in the config file.
- Inputting player -> addspell <NonExistingSpell> makes the command window throw "Error in framelistener: object <NonExistingSpell> not found" continuously. It will also prevent you from moving.

Any suggestions on how to write:

Bug #299: Crash in World::disable
Bug #306: Non-existent ~/.config/openmw "crash" the launcher.
Bug #307: False "Data Files" location make the launcher "crash"
Or are these covered well enough in "Fixes for several crashes"?

Has anyone noticed that the birthsigns are sorted incorrectly in the birthsigns menu?

I had a problem with my render for the video, so I'm re-rendering. raevol, I'll give you the link when I've uploaded it so that you may include it in your release announcement.
