The OpenMW team is proud to announce the release of version 0.35.0! Grab it from our Downloads Page for all operating systems. This release includes over 100 bug fixes and improvements, and brings our "1.0" release much closer. Some notable features include the beginnings of an ess-Importer command line tool to import save games from vanilla Morrowind, proper handling of the Calm effect, and AI fast-forward functionality. Read the full changelog and bask in the glory of the huge amount of work that has gone into this release... Two more things: several OpenMW utilities have been renamed as of this release, including OpenCS being renamed to OpenMW-CS. And we would really appreciate any feedback on the launcher's Data File selection UI. Enjoy!

Looks like there may be a file missing from the 0.35 Win64 package. I detected the problem after downloading, installing, and attempting to run the launcher (repeat a second time, because Windows; alas, same results both times). Launcher does not start and pops up a dialog complaining about some sort of ogre-root. I was intrigued, but it was not related to a spirits recipe.
Failed to create the Ogre::Root object
