Here is a short overview of the features we have done for this release:

• protocol 8.54 (by fightingelf and others)
• basic and advanced lighting systems (by adelae)
• better icon on mac (by ivucica)
• public messages in game area (by kilouco)
• invisible players and their animation (by nfries88)
• clipboard on windows and mac os x (by nfries88)
• better console (by kilouco and nfries88)
• visual improvements for healthbars and names (by nfries88)
• shortening of long names (by kilouco)
• logout hotkey ctrl+l (by nfries88)
• better npc messages (by kilouco)
• support for looking like items (by kilouco)
• support for 0x92 (passability of creatures) (by nfries88)
• broadcast support (by kilouco and nfries88)
• rendering received pm in game area (by nfries88)
• vip list (by ivucica and nfries88)

• console history (by ivucica)
• record and replay capability - atm for debugging only (by ivucica)
• black skull and other icons from 8.5 (by nfries88)

And many many other bugfixes and small changes.

Whew, that one was long. But still short for something that took 8 months to release. We planned to do it anyway, but since Adelae contributed lighting code that was a kickstart. We want user input and we'll be working on fixing more stuff for another release soon.
This release is untested and we already have some fixes ready to be released ASAP, but which didn't make it into 0.3.2.
Notice how lazy I personally was for this release -- all credit for continuing this project goes to nfries88, and other occasional contributors such as Ormin, Kilouco, FightingElf, and especially Adelae whose lighting system gave us a kick in our collective asses.

Extra thanks go to Thomac for figuring out parts of hardware info data being transmitted by the client. We currently hardcode his data.

Please try out the client and report issues using the bugtracker! Also, post your comments and reports for this release in this thread.

If you have any suggestions for future development please use the YATC forum and of course post them on bug tracker.

Doesn't seem to load 854 files, but I can load them with my trunk compilation.

Edit: There is no error files either.

[nfries88]

I know the cause of that issue, it's already in the bug tracker.

Solution: Put the yatc.cfg from your trunk build into the same folder as your release "installation".

Actually, openGL doesn't look good anywhere. For now.

What a great release! Keep on developing this please! I am still looking forward to the day where we beats original tibia in both server and client, in open source!

I don't play any modern OT's so not sure i'll be able to test it much, but just an obvious thing I noticed from the two SS you posted.

In the advanced lighting one, Health & Mana numbers are like pure white as well as Cap & Soul numbers and also the letters VIP.

Not sure if thats a bug or not but looks weird

Advanced lighting only works in OpenGL

Advanced lighting only works in OpenGL

OpenGL lacks colorization in a lot of areas. Since it's never really worked, we've always focused on the SDL implementations.
(To elaborate his point).
