10th anniversary of GemRB and the 0.6.2 release!

[Avenger]

GemRB is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine. It was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment).

 

Exactly ten years ago, the project was registered on SourceForge. Over the years this enabled multiple people to contribute, track bugs and host releases. Started by a single coder who has since moved on to other things, it is now developed by a healthy team of IE fans. To celebrate this anniversary, a new release was made. While it is minor by number, a lot of annoying bugs were fixed since 0.6.1!

 

This is also a nice chance to say "thank you" to the wider IE community. Without the continued interest and help in the exploration of various engine bugs/features, our work would be a lot more daunting and much less gratifying. So thanks and keep it up!

 

You can get the sources from here. The windows binary unfortunately isn't available due a misterious memory-hogging issue on that platform.
