GemRB 0.2.3 released

Hi all,

your long waiting is over, a new release of GemRB is here! It’s not as Stable-And-Bugfree (tm) as we have hoped, but at least it’s done. Please read release notes and a thread about 0.2.3 on our forums before reporting problems.

Highlights of this release:

New features:

• GUI for most of the games, especially interactive Inventory and Spellbook
• Map and WorldMap
• Load screen interstitials with progress bar
• Spell and item cache to speed up object management
• Added gamescript actions/triggers
• Selection of spells during character generation
• First attempt on effects code
• First attempt on Fog-Of-War
• Tooltips
• Overhead text
• Ambient sounds
• Volume control
• Manual page gemrb(1)
• Documentation for GemRB Python API and our custom override files

Improved features:

• Character generation
• GUI
• Build infrastructure on Linux and Un*x systems
• Progress towards portability to 64 bit and big endian machines
• Many bugfixes and new bugs as well ;-)
• Shortened version numbers
• Simplified user configuration, game specific settings are now in gemrb/override dir

Enjoy, Edheldil, the delayed Santa
