The new version ist still alpha of course, so there is still time until a new stable release comes out. Note also that it needs irrlicht 1.7. There ist currently a FreeBSD port of 1.6 (which doesn’t seem to need an awful lot of source code patches, so it may be easily portable). From the videos I’ve seen of the alpha, the new engine brings a major improvement to the game graphics.
I could try a port myself, but if anyone else is up to it already, fine by me. :) Oh, and thanks again to everyone who helped testing and improving the port! Pascal
