CrazyEddie's GUI System: Version 0.7.0 is Released!

Post by CrazyEddie »

Greetings, to one and all!

The developers of Crazy Eddie's GUI System are pleased to announce the 0.7.0 release of CEGUI. This highly anticipated release features an all new rendering subsystem with totally rewritten renderer modules with support for three axis window rotation and other advanced rendering effects. Other notable changes include improved text string rendering with markup support, improvements to resource loading, more integrated documentation and a whole lot more besides!

We would like to take this opportunity to advise that this release contains many major changes. If you are currently working with older versions of CEGUI, your code will need to be updated if you wish to take advantage of CEGUI version 0.7.0, please refer to the porting notes for information. With the exception of config files, existing data files will continue to work with CEGUI 0.7.0, although do note that some modifications may be required to take advantage of the new features and rendering enhancements.

Here's a screenshot. Hopefully you can see in the terminal window that this is running using Irrlicht 1.5.1. The screen shot shows our Demo7 - which now has wobbly windows - in mid err... wobble :)

For the download links and 0.7.0 change log, please see the official announcement on the CEGUI forums

We hope you all find this release useful, and as always please use the CEGUI Forums if you require support, and remember to post your CEGUI log file!

The CEGUI Team.

Wow, nice eye catcher. Good to see that you're still improving CEGui that much.

Thanks :) Many of the new features and improvements have been planned for a while, though sometimes it seemed even to us that perhaps it might never happen - but here we are finally with a released product:D

Well. That's a point of contention if ever there was! Some guys find CEGUI simple to pick up, others not so much - maybe you'll be in the 'lucky' first group :)

As an additional heads-up, I'll draw your attention to our YouTube channel, where we have some videos of the types of things that this release can enable you to do:

Note that except the wobbly windows in Demo7, the demos in the videos are not currently publicly available, although now 0.7.0 is finally released, I may clean some of those up - port them to the various engines and such that we support - and make them available as separate downloads.

CE.
