Starting a few weeks ago, new development is being done on CEGUI, mainly on its tools. User fjeronimo has made some valuable modifications already. Besides that, we are moving through the Mantis list and verifying+fixing bugs. We will keep you up-to-date regarding these matters.

Release of 0.5.0b source packages by CrazyEddie 28th November 2006

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.

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
