Finally the long-brewing new version of RoR is out!

Contrary to previous announcements, I had to make a strategic change of priority in order to enter the Independent Game Festival, and meet their October, 1st deadline.

That important choice has two consequence:

• I had not enough time to develop and test a functional network version before the deadline. So I concentrated on finalizing a clean 0.32, “IGF edition” version of the game, and report the network feature to version 0.33. My plan is to concentrate on network right now, and release 0.33 ASAP.
• I will not change the way Rigs of Rods is developed until the result of the IGF.

Features of the new version are:

• New installer package
• Smooth roads
• Tons of new vehicles, sorted by category, thanks to all the contributors!
• Different spawn points for trucks, airplanes, boats, and loads
• Experimental vegetation, thanks to Thomas
• Upgraded objects model, LUA scripting, and mission support capability
• Update to Ogre 1.4.3
• Many other features and bugfix

Enjoy!

As you can see in the screenshots, the skin use coverviews with 3D
style and real reflektions. The buttons working with actionmenues, so
they come in to the screen only if they will be used. So we have more

It’s release candidate time.  This should be the last RC3, touch wood.
Psi-0.11-RC3 is out, please grab your copies from:

Source: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/psi/psi-0.11-RC3.tar.bz2
Mac: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/psi/Psi-0.11-RC3.dmg
Windows: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/psi/psi-win32-0.11-RC3.zip

Known Issues:
A very small number of users (currently only one that we know of reproducably) are affected by a crash in this version of Psi; we’re working on trying to track this down and fix it but have decided to not delay the release of 0.11 any further for it, as it will work fine for the vast majority of users. However; if you use Psi in an absolutely mission-critical environment, it may be safest to continue to use 0.10 until the bugfix is applied.

Please test; if no show-stopping bugs are revealed in the next few weeks, we’ll go gold. The changelog since 0.10 is as follows:

• Reworked account registration process (including proper support for XEP-0077 (In-band registration))

• Finished support for XEP-0004 (Data Forms) by supporting forms in messages. (thanks to Roelof Naude)

• Added support for JEP-0070 (Verifying HTTP Requests via XMPP).

• Customizable shortcuts (thanks to Ephraim)

• Added spell checking (thanks to Ephraim). Currently only aspell is supported on non-Macs.

• Added option to automatically set the resource (using the hostname)

• Added new default Stellar3 iconset

• Added support for JEP-138 (Stream Compression)

• Added support for using JEP-33 (Extended Stanza Addressing) to multicast messages to multiple users. Use option.enable-multicasting to enable it.

• Added ‘Show status message’ toggle. There is a hidden option to put status messages under the nickname (at the cost of 2 extra pixels when no status message is shown)

• Support for Bookmark Storage (JEP-0048), where bookmarked conferences are auto-joined. No UI is provided for creating bookmarks (yet).

• Better error messages, including error condition mappings (JEP-0086)

• Support dynamically changing priority

• Improved PGP error messages

• Hiding the deprecated protocol selector for service discovery by default. Use option.ui.show-deprecated.service-discovery.protocol-selector to re-enable it.

• New options system (see options.xml)

• Receiving support for vCard-Based Avatars (JEP-0153)

• Support for Multi-User-Chat (JEP-0045)

• Preliminary support for User Nickname (JEP-0172)
