The OpenMW team is incredibly proud to announce the release of version 0.22.0! Release packages for Ubuntu are now available via our [url=https://launchpad.net/~openmw/+archive/openmw]Launchpad PPA[/url] and for Debian in our [url=http://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1298]Debian PPA[/url]. Release packages for other platforms are available on our [url=https://code.google.com/p/openmw/downloads/list]Download page[/url]. This release introduces the long awaited animation feature, many thanks to everyone on the team who has worked to bring this to fruition. Another major feature implemented in this release is support for loading multiple ESM and ESP files. Prepare to travel to Mournhold, Bloodmoon, and beyond into Tamriel Rebuilt and other mods. Other features include the "Dispose of Corpse" button, lights that are more faithful to classic Morrowind, and working active spell icons. The bug fix list for this release is quite extensive, see below.
PLEASE NOTE: Starting with this release, you must run the ini importer at least once! This can be done automatically through the launcher.
Known Issues:
Extreme shaking may occur during cell transitions for some users (enable anti-aliasing as a possible workaround)
Launcher crash on OS X < 10.8
Polish version of Morrowind.esm makes OpenMW crash
