After half a year of development, it's time for the next big OpenMPT
release, and OpenMPT 1.26 brings a great bunch of new and
improved features.
Many changes have been done under the hood, leading to new possible
features in the future releases. Some of them have lead to important
improvements in libopenmpt, but will also benefit OpenMPT itself.
Here is a short summary of the most notable new features:
This is almost purely a bugfix release for OpenMPT 1.25, with few other
changes. These are the noteworthy improvements and changes in OpenMPT
1.25.04.00:
This is another update for OpenMPT 1.25 with more bugfixes, improvements
and also some new features. These are the noteworthy improvements and
changes in OpenMPT 1.25.03.00:
It's been about a month since the release of OpenMPT 1.25, and here is
the first update to address new and old bugs found in OpenMPT 1.25, but
it also brings a few other improvements. These are the noteworthy
improvements and changes in OpenMPT 1.25.02.00:
After four months of development, it's time for the next big OpenMPT
release, and OpenMPT 1.25 brings a great bunch of new and
improved features.
The biggest change is probably that there is now a third flavour of
OpenMPT: The default 32-bit builds are now optimized using the SSE2
instruction set and require Windows 7 or later to run. Older operating
systems and CPUs without SSE2 are still supported through a separate
build. The 32-bit OpenMPT installer contains both builds and chooses the
most suitable one for you. When using the zip package, you will have to
pick the correct version on your own. The 64-bit package requires
Windows 7 as well, so on 64-bit Windows XP and Vista, it might not work
as intended and you will have to resort to using the 32-bit version for
now. This might change if a great need for a legacy 64-bit version
arises, but we currently doubt that this is the case.
For more information, there is a forum
post about the
different OpenMPT configurations.
Here is a short summary of the most notable new features:
After the latest (and ongoing) major service outage at sourceforge.net,
we decided to finally move our subversion source code repository away
from their site and onto our own server.
The new code repository is located at
https://source.openmpt.org/svn/openmpt/ and can be browsed comfortably
through WebSVN -
this is also where you can download code snapshots and read commit logs.
Our new repository is mirrored in several physical locations.
The old commit mailing
list
is still alive, and you may also receive commit notifications by
subscribing to the RSS
feed.
Further information on migrating your own existing working copies can be
found in this forum
post.
This is a quick bugfix release for
yesterday's update to
counteract an excessive performance drop that could be experienced when using
OpenMPT in Wine or on slow systems. A few other small, mostly new issues have
been fixed as well:
This is mostly a bugfix to address bugs found in the previous OpenMPT
1.24 release, but also brings a few other improvements. These are the
