Is Irrlicht still maintained?

[Jedive]

I need a 3D engine to write a game. Don't need any modern features (the game will be made in late 90s - early 00s style), and Irrlicht looked like the perfect choice for my needs. The problem is that, when trying to compile the last version (1.8.4) under macOS Catalina with Xcode 11.4, the compilation raised multiple errors, so I was wondering if the engine is still being maintained.

Thanks!

I still maintain the engine and even plan a 1.9 release. But unfortunately not on macOS. svn trunk has some fixes for OS X which are not in 1.8.4, so that might be worth a shot. There's 1-2 guys around which help me usually to apply OS X fixes, but that's about the support for that platform at the moment.

Thank you for your work! I'll use the SVN version then, and if any changes need to be done on macOS I'll inform you

PS: Any ETA on the 1.9 release?

Last ETA was last January :-( I hope I find soon time to take off another 1-2 weeks for Irrlicht coding and maybe that will help me finish it. Basically it's nearly done, but last tasks are stuff I can't just do on the side but need a few days in a row to work on it. My current hope is "summer". But no promise.

I can successfully compile the engine from the source code here

. And my OS is also Catalina with the newest version of Xcode.

Irrlicht also got several fixes for OS X in the last 2-3 weeks. It might compile now as well.
