3.6.10 Final Now Available!
Announcing the immediate availability of FS2_Open 3.6.10.
Previous 3.6.9 Release Thread

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 ships

Only 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 3.0
Linux:  YAL or here or whatever you can figure out.

Windows
Regular
Inferno

OS X

Linux (suggest rolling your own using source below)

Source
fs2_open_3_6_10.tgz

This 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.

Non-comprehensive additions list:

      $prevent turrets targeting too distant bombs: NO
      $smart subsystem targeting for turrets: NO
    * ships.tbl
      +noreplace option to optionally preserve flags when parsing tbms
    * weapons.tbl
      +override option to optionally override the flags when parsing tbms
    * muzzleflash.tbl
      +override option to optionally erase the existing 'blobs' from a muzzleflash instead of appending the list


Other...

    * Allowed multiple beams to use multiple firepoints in a turret
    * added startMission lua function

Quote from: Swifty
  • 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.

Quote from: chief1983
  • Option for disabling 3d shockwaves
  • ai_profiles bypass for requiring that all fighters are equipped with primaries/secondaries

Quote from: SCP Roadmap
  • 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

Awesome sauce! Gonna try this next week with better time. Also, I've updated all installation instructions (including the noob version at General FreeSpace Discussion) to mention 3.6.10 Final.

Re: 3.6.10 Final Now Available!
The latest nightly is actually 5468, and as far as I've understood it, the current nightlies are 3.6.11 builds. I'd say that you should use 3.6.10 for a more stable experience.

Re: 3.6.10 Final Now Available!
More bugfixes than the latest nightly, less new and untested features than the latest nightly.

And I think this needs a highlight/announce.

Re: 3.6.10 Final Now Available!
Okay, here's the deal. The most recent nightly has more features in it than this.
This is because the nightlies belong to the 3.6.11 branch, which basically consists of 3.6.10 plus whatever the devs have been adding into their own branches.
That does not make 3.6.10 obsolete, it just means that we now have a stable, mostly bug-free version that should be considered the standard until 3.6.11 comes out.

To answer your question more directly, the revision number of this build does not correspond directly to the revision numbers of the nightly builds; as chief, JeffVader and Aardwolf said, this is based off of revision 5209, so it has all the features introduced until then (which are also listed in chief's post), plus a ton of bugfixes.

Re: 3.6.10 Final Now Available!
If you're a developer on a TC or mod that needs the new features you'll probably already be using the 3.6.11 nightlies. Everyone else should be getting this build now.

The release of an official build draws a line in the sand. If you have anything other than this or a 3.6.11 build and have a problem you'll just be told to upgrade to this, you might as well do it now. :p

Re: 3.6.10 Final Now Available!
I wouldn't even say it has a ton of bug fixes.  After the split, things put in 3.6.10 were taken from trunk, and only if they seemed particularly harmless or necessary.  There's only about 25 or so commits to 3.6.10 itself after RC2, compared with the over 200 new commits to trunk.

Re: 3.6.10 Final Now Available!
I'm curious - If Inferno builds have multi support, what stops them from becoming the standard? I mean, IIRC, it was the breaking of multiplayer that caused the split into Inferno and Normal builds in the first place - if that's gone, why does the Ship limit remain in normal builds?

This may sound odd, but I can't get the thing to stop using MS Sam or other voices for campaigns without VA.  It's somewhat irritating.  I tried turning it off, but it ignores me.

Open the Launcher, go to the Speech tab, uncheck everything and turn the volume down, and press apply. That should help...
