strong99 — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:08:35 +0000

We just released Irrlicht version 1.7.3. This version contains numerous bug fixes and will hopefully be the last update before 1.8.

All users which are using an 1.7 Irrlicht version should update to this version for the best experience. See changes.txt in the SDK for a complete list of changes.

Happy downloading!

New website!

bitplane — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:00:00 +0000

Irrlicht’s website is now powered by WordPress, which means we don’t need to edit the raw HTML each time someone (usually Christian or Niko) posts a news update. Now that any of the devs can post news and edit pages without risk of destroying the site, you should see lots more news updates!

You can now use a feed reader to keep an eye on Irrlicht releases and/or news, and chat with the team and other users right here on the site.

Enjoy!
