Announcing the immediate availability of FS2_Open 3.6.10.
3.6.10 is based on SVN's 3.6.10 branch revision 5460. It was split from trunk at revision 5209.
Windows builds were using Visual C++ 6.0, compressed as zip for ease of use and distribution
OS X builds were made using command line xcodebuild on a PowerMac G4 with running Leopard 10.5.7, and Xcode 3.1.2.
Linux builds were made on Debian 32bit using the standard compiler installation*
This includes all previous fixes and fixes several critical bugs in RC3, including:
- Fix for six ships in wing overflow
- +Glide accel multi is now parsed
- Enable more briefing text colors
- Fix for Mantis 1942
- Fix for mod warning system causing drops
- Backport of autopilot CTD fix
- Backport of leaking handle fix
Windows builds were compiled to include both Text-to-Speech and Voice Recognition support**
Don't use Inferno builds unless you're playing Inferno, or TBP, or any other mod with a gargantuan amount of shipsOnly works in multi at all with RC2+. Would not suggest using RCs with the final build though. And as always, you can't mix Inferno and non-Inferno builds.Launchers, if you don't have one already:
Windows:
Launcher 5.5e (new launcher version! fixes hyphens in mod folder names issue)
OS X: Soulstorm's
OS X Launcher 3.0Linux:

RegularInfernoSourcefs2_open_3_6_10.tgzThis is not a one-stop shop to make your FSO the prettiest it can be! These are only the FS2_Open executables. If you're starting from a fresh retail or GOG install, you probably want the MediaVPs as well, which should be stickied in a post in the
Freespace Upgrade Forum. For a full blown install it all solution, you might want to try
Turey's FSO Installer.
As always, use
Mantis for any new bugs, or if you can't activate your account, post here.

- TrackIR head tracking support.
- Target Padlock View command added to the Misc Tab of the Command Config. Allows players to fixate their viewpoint on targets or subsystems.
- View acceleration added; Gradually transitions player's viewpoint to the padlock views instead of quickly snapping.
- Customized explosions support for ship classes and ship types. See documentation for fireball.tbl, ship.tbl, and objecttypes.tbl.
- Option for disabling 3d shockwaves
- ai_profiles bypass for requiring that all fighters are equipped with primaries/secondaries
- new FS2NetD2 code (Taylor)
- SLDC (Shield Collision Trees) (Kazan)
- OpenGL fixes (Taylor)
- OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) - normal maps, etc(Taylor)
- reworked ships lab (Taylor)
- reduced memory footprint (Taylor)
- better multi-format file loading (particularly for music). (Taylor)
- Enhanced Autopilot (building cinematics) (Kazan)
- Fiction Viewer (Goober)
- 'dynamicification' of MAX_PARSE_OBJECTS (Goober)
- Shield/weapon energy regen ship specific, measured in %/sec [Rqst: WCS]
* - This also included using OpenAL Soft (libopenal.so.1) instead of the OpenAL SI (libopenal.so.0), so a symlink creation may be necessary in case it is reported as missing. If you run into this issue (likely on Fedora, maybe others), cd to /usr/lib, and '(sudo) ln -s libopenal.so.0 libopenal.so.1'. Then pester your distro to update its OpenAL package to OpenAL Soft.
** - Voice recognition seems to be working now. I suggest testing the Experimental->Voice Recognition (-voicer) option with windowed mode enabled, which makes it easier to terminate when you have trouble. Post any new information in Mantis and refer to #1906 Mantis report.
