Release: 3.7.0 Final
What's this?  3.7.0 Final you say?  After how many years?  That's right, this is the first stable release of the new pilot code!  Over 30 fix commits went in since RC2.  This is based on revision 9755.  Happy Labor Day Weekend!
Previous 3.6.18 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.

I presume you mean your pilots all vanished?  The pilot conversions will only work for the currently active mod, i.e. if your pilot is active in FSPort and the conversion runs with mediavps_3612 active then the FSPort campaign progress will be lost.

Anyway, to get more info about exactly what's happening, Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

Also, a huge thanks is in order for Taylor, who laid the foundation and did a substantial amount of work putting together the new pilot code.  The remaining work has been mainly integration, testing, and bugfixing.

No, my pilots are there but all my campaigns were reset, but when I use the older build (3.6.18) I still have my progress

Yep, sorry, that's what I meant.  If you can post that log I can give you more info about why the campaign progress is gone when you switch to 3.7.0.

Actually, can you please rename or delete all the pilot files (*.plr) in freespace2/data/players and then post the log created on the 1st run of 3.7.0 after that?
