[Implemented] OGRE 1.6.0 Final ('Shoggoth') Released

[IceSoft]

see here: http://www.ogre3d.org/

OGRE v1.6 as the new, official stable version for all users. If you haven't upgraded from v1.4.x yet, now would be a good time to start investigating whether you want to (hint: you probably do), and you should consult the Porting Notes for tips on how to do so. Here's a reminder of the main new feature points in v1.6 over v1.4:

* New more powerful script compilers
* Geometry shaders in OpenGL
* Antialiasing on render textures as well as windows
* sRGB gamma correction
* Alpha to coverage support
* New 'Portal Connected Zone' SceneManager
* Parallel-Split Shadow Map support
* Improved tangent generation
* Skeletal blend masks
* New background loading options
* Custom memory allocator support

That's just a selection though, the full list can be found in the Changelog. If you adopted 1.6.0 RC1, you might be interested in what has changed since then.

Is it me or do they change the source files with every release?

If OGRE is unable to stick to the specifications of a source file, maybe PureBasic should think about using some other way to render 3d... I can use .3ds files from 3 years ago to render something in <add AppName here>, but as soon as it comes to OGRE - as soon as I want to use a .mesh that's just 2 weeks old... *sigh*
