The OpenMW team is proud to announce the release of version 0.12.0! Release packages are available on our Download page. This release notably includes NPC and Creature animation, though no A.I. has been implemented, so animations must be activated through console commands. Please review the following:

Regressions:

Sounds other than music not working
Scroll and button background graphics in launcher not working in Linux package
Important notes:

You must remove all old openmw.cfg files in order for the automatic detection of Morrowind installations to work.
If the data path is set manually and it contains spaces, it needs to be put inside quotation marks.
