Against rev 1921 I have tested all of my apps on win32/Linux in both release and debug modes and they all appear to be working as expected.
I ran into a couple of minor issues with the examples and new regression tests.
Linux
All of the examples build and appear to run fine in "release" mode.
1 - Examples. I'm not sure why, but it looks like the default build for the examples is for "release" mode when the library itself defaults to "debug". Also, in order to build the debug versions of the examples, the make files need to be manually edited vs. controlling the build with NDEBUG like the library uses.
2 - Tests. Patch I'm using to control debug/release build via make:

In release mode I'm seeing this error (happens with/without "-fexpensive-optimizations"):

It appears that result images were once being written to "results/" but that is no longer happening.
Switching back and forth between release/debug builds makes me want to submit a 1.6 patch for:
irrlicht.lib, irrlicht_d.lib, irrlicht_static.lib, irrlicht_static_d.lib, ...
win32
Test combos: vc8/vc9 projects, debug/release modes, d3d9 & opengl drivers.
1 - Examples.
SplitScreen_vc8.vcproj is missing in BuildAllExamples_v8.sln.
No problems building and all ran fine with the exception of "10.Shaders" using the d3d9 driver and "high level shaders".
Code: Select all
Please select the driver you want for this example:
(a) Direct3D 9.0c
(b) Direct3D 8.1
(c) OpenGL 1.5
(d) Software Renderer

(f) NullDevice

Please press 'y' if you want to use high level shaders.

All tests passed, but for vc8 I needed to update the solution "dependencies" and add "..\lib\Win32-VisualStudio" to the project "Additional Library Directories" in order to build.
That's it for now - I don't have any solid benchmarks, other than it "feels" just as good as they day we met...
(maybe benchmark info could eventually make its way into the tests). Well done!
We'll provide a binary release of the 1.5 beta in the next days. Until then compile the engine on your own or use the nightly builds (of SVN/trunk, won't be too different for the next time...)
