The OpenMW team is proud to announce the release of version 0.37.0! Grab it from our Downloads Page (https://openmw.org/downloads/) for all operating systems. This release brings the long-anticipated implementation of the OpenSceneGraph renderer! More info on this 3d graphics toolkit can be found on the OSG website (http://www.openscenegraph.org/). Hats off to scrawl for the Herculean amount of effort he put in working on this massive codebase change! The new renderer brings a massive performance speedup, as well as many graphical fixes and improvements.

You may notice that shadows are not re-implemented at this time, as well as distant land and object shaders, but we wanted to get the release out rather than delay any further! These features will be re-added soon! This release brings many other changes and bugfixes, as well as a huge amount of new work done on OpenCS, the editor for OpenMW. Some features are missing from OpenCS as well: only basic camera controls are implemented, pathgrid and cell marker rendering is missing, as well as instance moving. See below for the full changelog.
