Ember 0.5.3 released
Ember version 0.5.3 has been released and is now available from the WorldForge download site.
Ember is a 3d client for the WorldForge project. It uses the Ogre 3d graphics library for presentation and CEGUI for its GUI system.
This release fixes a couple of memory leaks and improves memory handling overall, as well as some problems with Ogre 1.4.8+ and CEGUI 0.6.1+. The admin interface has been expanded and the terrain editor has been enhanced, as well as entity movement functionality.
Note that if you compile from source, you will need to install the media too, either by using the “make releasemediarsync” make target or by installing the content of ember-media-0.5.3.tar.bz2 to PREFIX/share/ember/media
Changes:
- a lot of memory handling enhancements
- improved terrain editor
- simplified admin interface
- new method for moving entities in the world
- lots and lots of new media, meshes and textures
This version can be downloaded from the sourceforge download site, at the following locations:
We currently only provide precompiled packages for Linux system, but will provide Windows packages in the near future.
Note that if you compile from source, you will need to install the content of ember-media-0.5.3.tar.bz2 to PREFIX/share/ember/media or use the “make releasemediarsync” make target.
If you compile Ogre yourself make sure to disable FreeImage (–disable-freeimage).

All bug reports should be posted at the Launchpad.
