Irrlicht Engine 0.4.2 released!

Finally, here it is: Version 0.4.2 of the engine, waiting for you to download it from the download section. Sorry for the long waiting time, but at least I don’t get any money for it. 🙂 I have made a lot of modifications to the internal engine and changed some interfaces and enumeration names. There are lots of bug fixes in it and alpha versions of features which will be finalized in version 0.5. Here is a short overview of the changes and new features:

  • Preview of the terrain scene node for outdoor rendering.
  • The engine is not limited to 16 bit textures any longer. All other formats are working now too.
  • Creation and loading of software images.
  • PCX file support.
  • Curved surfaces support. (Thanks to Dean P. Macri, also for the PCX loader!)
  • New Materials
  • Interface for Logging text.
  • Bug fixes.
  • More bug fixes.
  • Really, lots of bug fixes.
