"official" compiler and is updated more often, while GDC is a

IMPORTANT: OpenMW 0.4 notes
===========================
As of OpenMW 0.4, we have switched sound libraries from Audiere to
OpenAL + libavcodec. This means that:
- you need to install OpenAL
- you must install libavcodec / ffmpeg for mp3 playback
- you no longer need Audiere
See the changelog at the end for an up-to-date list of changes.
Also new in this release is the way files are distributed for
Windows. There is now a separate "DLL pack" that can be used with
either the binary version or the source version. You no longer need to
run around the internet to find various SDKs and such - everything
should be included in the DLL-pack, including the necessary C/C++
header files.
Note: if you are using a localized (non-English) version of Morrowind,
the default starting cell (Assu) might not exist. Try esmtool (see
below) to get a list of existing cells.
On the near-future TODO list:
===========================
- full support for localized versions (with character recoding)
- support for Mac
- collision detection + walk & fall physics
- displaying creatures correcty, animation
- rendering NPCs
- rendering outdoor scenes (exterior cells)
- choosing a GUI/HUD system that plays well with OGRE

============
Currently supported platforms are Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. Most
testing is on Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP Professional (in that order).

deficiencies. This will hopefully be sorted out at some point, but
it's not a bug in the OpenMW code.
