Release: 3.6.12 Final
Here it is! The final 3.6.12 build! Included below is the commit history since RC4.
Previous 3.6.10 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

Launchers, if you don't have one already:
Windows:  Launcher 5.5g (new launcher version! (Mirror) Support for all nightly builds as well as <= 3.6.12) or wxLauncher (ongoing project for a unified launcher on all platforms)
OS X:  Soulstorm's OS X Launcher 3.0 or wxLauncher (ongoing project for a unified launcher on all platforms)
Linux:  YAL or by hand or whatever you can figure out.

Known issues:
  • None! (other than those already in Mantis ;) )


WINDOWS Builds

Inferno Builds (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
If you don't know which one to get, get the first one.  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: 3.6.12 Final
I thought r6340 was supposed to get rid of the pdb files.  They are still included in the release.
Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

What gave you that idea? 6340 got rid of pdbs for release builds, debug builds still need them.

Re: Release: 3.6.12 Final
just to quickly ask, what are the SSE builds for? This is my first time upgrading to an Inferno build so i'm not really clued up on it all. :confused:

Also, will i need to do anything special or can i just swap out the exe's and use all the existing files?

Thanks

For an explanation regarding SSE, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions

As for switching to Inferno, the only thing you'll be losing are your savegames.

Re: Release: 3.6.12 Final
Umm.

SSE has nothing to do with x86 or x64. You really should try the SSE2 builds, as they'll probably give you a performance boost (Provided your CPU was manufactured after 2001).

SCP shouldn't make you think MediaVPs, as it's the Source Code Project.  FSU or MediaVPs will likely be in their highlight image :P

Also, they kind of depended on the SCP release so that was always going to be first.

With regard to SSE1 vs SSE2, I read that your processor has to be a 64 bit x86 in order to use SSE2, whereas SSE1 just has to be an X86 machine.

Nope, that's simply wrong.

Whether or not your CPU runs in 32 or 64 bit mode makes no difference regarding your ability to use SSE2.

Now, by the purest coincidence, most CPUs capable of executing SSE2 code is also capable of running 64bit code (because SSE2 is part of the x86-64 spec), but one feature does not need the other.
