Here are the release targzs:

32 Bit
64 Bit

Scrawl noticed that shader compilation is quite slow with these binaries (probably due to old boost wave version), but i simply don't have time to fix that at the moment.

The 64-bit link seems to be down.

EDIT: Uploads are done and but not featured yet, waiting for the Linux Binary 64-bit package still. Release announcements:

If you guys would glance over those and make sure I didn't muck them up that'd be helpful.

The journal regression has been fixed, so it can be removed from the list of known issues. Also, the line about the AiWander crash can be removed, since this problem was specific to 0.21.0 and did not exist in 0.20.0.

@raevol
Your forgot to mention "Launcher crash on OS X < 10.8", this one isn't fixed yet

[WeirdSexy]

- Adjusted activation range to better mach vanilla Morrowind

typo. mach -> match

Sorry just a little typo. Here's a working link:

Thanks guys, corrections made. 64-bit Linux uploading now. May have to actually finish the release a bit later, but it's at least in progress.

We're released!

The video should show up as embedded once it's made public?

[psi29a]

Um... why did you did you use a zip file for the source? The source is always available from launchpad and always the best compression as <version>orig.tar.bz2 ?

https://launchpad.net/~openmw/+archive/openmw/+packages

^-- doesn't matter what release, the orig.tar.bz2 is always the same.

It would just be nice to be consistent.

I usually get it from github, and this time I couldn't figure out where they hid it in the interface, but I did find a link to download the 0.21.0 tag. Are you sure launchpad doesn't accumulate post-release changes?
