Release of 0.5.0b binary packages for Win32 by CrazyEddie 14th November 2006

The Win32 binary dependency and SDK packages released on the 6th contained an inconsistency related to the SILLY library. Today I have issued a new set of binary packages which have been fixed - the new version is known as 0.5.0b, and contains no other changes. Many thanks to forum member vasmann for alerting me to the issue.

Release of 0.5.0 stable by CrazyEddie 6th November 2006

It has been almost a year in the making, but it is finally here! The CEGUI development team is immensely proud to announce the release of Crazy Eddie's GUI System 0.5.0 - the first stable release of code in the 0.5.x series.

There are pretty vast changes in this release from the previous stable (0.4.1) - many of these changes are breaking, so please agian review Release Notes 0.5.X to see details of most of these changes.

This release consists of various files that you may need, depending on your usage of the system. We are providing source packages, documentation packages, dependency packages, and binary SDK packages (for VC7.1 and VC8).

To coincide with this release, we are also happy to announce a stable 0.1.0 release of Simple Image Loading LibrarY (SILLY), and the 0.5.0 release of the CELayoutEditor. Please see the downloads page for full details.

CEGUI 0.5.0 Release Candidate 1 by Dalfy 20 June 2006

We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of the 0.5 branches of CEGUI. There has been a lot of changes between 0.4.1 and 0.5.0. They are listed in Release Notes 0.5.X. Please have a try at it and help us get a final release soon by sending a lot of bug report in Mantis bug tracker. The download page for CEGUI-0.5.0-RC1 contains some typos but most link are already valid and mirrored on sourceforge. The link on the download page are going to be fixed during the day.

For any question regarding this release you can use either the forum either irc.

Migration to Subversion by CrazyEddie 11:13, 3 April 2006 (PDT)

We have taken the decision to migrate the code for main CEGUI Mk-2 library and the CELayoutEditor tool from using the CVS revision control system, over to Subversion (SVN). If you're using the stable releases, this will not affect you at all. If you're using code out of some branch of CVS, then you will need to switch to SVN instead - we will not be maintaining both repositories. You will find that for general usage, CVS and SVN are similar, and have similar commands. For Windows users, we heartily recommend the use of TortoiseSVN.

For full details of how to obtain the source code from the subversion repository, please see the page HOWTO: Obtain the library source from subversion

All 'ceguiaddons' projects will continue to use CVS for revision control.

Site Moved (again)

We have now moved the site back to the sourceforge servers, and made a few changes as to the way the site is handled in general - as you have probably noticed!

Basically the main 'content' areas of the site are now entirely wiki based, and we also have a few other bits installed to handle certain requirements where the wiki is less suited to the task.

The features of the new site are:

• Wiki based system for all main site content
• phpBB2 being used for community forums
• Coppermine based gallery
• Mantis for all bug and feature tracking
• Single, unified, log-in for all site areas
