Release: 3.6.18 Final
After finding an egregious game balance bug in 3.6.16, we are happy to release 3.6.18 Final based on revision 9546.  Hope it's a bit more usable this time!
Previous 3.6.16 Release Thread

Important!!
As always, you need OpenAL installed.  Linux and OS X come with it but Windows users will need to get Creative's OpenAL installer.

Important!!
Also, since the internal code linking for TrackIR was revised, an external DLL is now required for FSO to use TrackIR functions.
The following DLL is simply unpacked in to you main FreeSpace2 root dir.
TrackIR is only supported on Windows.
TrackIR SCP DLL (Mirror) (Mirror) (Mirror)

Launchers, if you don't have one already:
All platforms:  wxLauncher (ongoing project for a unified launcher)
Windows:  Launcher 5.5g (Mirror) (Mirror) (Mirror) Not compatible with Windows 8, use wxLauncher above
OS X:  Soulstorm's OS X Launcher 3.0
Linux:  YAL or by hand or whatever you can figure out.

Known issues:
  • The now-standard Inferno builds have trouble converting retail pilots.  You might experience crashes.  Post logs.
  • See the list of Fix for next release bugs - mark a bug as an elevated priority (high, urgent, immediate) to get it included in that filter.
  • Here is the filter for Target 3.6.18 bugs.

If you don't know which one to get, get the third one (no SSE).  If you don't know what SSE means, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions
You can use freely available tools like CPU-Z to check which SSE capabilities your CPU has.

Re: Release: 3.6.18 Final
The fix for that bug (#2780) was in r9512, which was included in 3.6.16 already, and it should therefore be fixed in this one as well :)

Re: Release: 3.6.18 Final
As a hardware head, I'm not the most astute when it comes to various software "changes".
So I ask...what will (or will not) work with version 3.6.18???
There are many campaigns that still state they work with versions 3.6.9, 3.6.10 or 3.6.12. There are also campaigns that state they have been tested with (or up to!) certain versions (3.6.14 especially, and a few with 3.6.16).
Must campaigns be "upgraded" to work with later FS2O versions as they arrive....do they "automatically" work with newer FS2O versions??
I do not mind being the village idiot......so, I would appreciate some insights....from any/every one!!!

OK....lay it on me!

In general - and yes, this statement doesn't always hold, but in general - anything that worked on an older version of FSO will work on the newest version.

That is what we need to do... time our SCP releases so that Axem always has to go and update his newsletter. :lol:

It's just so they can blame Axem for being too impatient and releasing his newsletter too early.

There can't be anything evil in blaming Axem.
