Thanks to community member Paper, we can present some treasures previously not available in our software archive:
Digging through old shareware and magazine CDs available on archive.org, Paper found a great number of old versions of ModPlug Tracker, ModPlug Player and the ModPlugin that were previously not present in our archive.
This includes the earliest version of ModPlug Tracker that we are aware of now, version 1.0 alpha 3. Previously, the oldest known version was 1.0 alpha 5.
Of course we will keep digging for the "holy grail" - version 1.0 alpha 1, but now you have the possibility to explore how ModPlug Tracker looked like in late 1997.
It's been one and a half years since the initial release of OpenMPT 1.29, and in the meantime we have provided many updates to make it more stable and add a few new features and improve details.
Now we are finally ready to present the first release of OpenMPT 1.30. It took us way longer than expected, but the great number of improvements and new features was hopefully worth the wait.
Here is a short summary of the most notable new features:
As a number of bugs was found and fixed during the last few weeks, we decided to
release one last update to OpenMPT 1.29
to address various minor issues and annoyances. In addition, this is the first
fully code-signed OpenMPT release thanks to a generous donation by an OpenMPT user.
This avoids annoying warnings when running untrusted applications downloaded
from the internet in modern Windows versions.
All that being said, we are still on track for finally releasing OpenMPT 1.30 later this month.
If you are curious what's new, you can have a look at the release candidate thread on our forums.
