GtkRadiant 1.6.2
Lots of news of late, so here's a brief rundown of what's been going on in the last few months:
The GtkRadiant project team led by TTimo has been doing a lot of work recently with building a new stable release for GtkRadiant 1.6, fixing a number of issues and back-end improvements. The source code is now easily accessible on GitHub. The old QeRadiant site died a slow death so I had built an end-user site on RobotRenegade.com, that has now been moved to it's new official home on Icculus.org. A number of internal releases of the 1.6 branch were tested to solve some of the larger issues, and it has reached the point where it needs to reach a broader user base, so here is the new stable version.
Quote:
GtkRadiant 1.6.2 is the current stable version. We encourage everyone to use this release and provide feedback. Expect possible stability issues, please report all bugs on the GitHub issue tracker for the project. For discussions of new features, resolving content problems, or simply saying hello, make sure to use the mailing list or the forum (Q3W LEM).
GtkRadiant 1.6 is in active development, check back for details and updates. If you think you can help with the project with either programming or bug testing, feel free to join the mailing list to stay up to date with the latest developments and learn how you can help.
You are encouraged to run this latest version and if you experience any issues, you can report them here or on the IRC channel. Note that there will be more focus on stability rather than new feature development right now, so feature requests probably won't be taking priority. It's already been recognized that a number of GtkRadiant 1.5 features are popular and they may be eventually ported over to the 1.6 branch.

works pretty well, some of the functions don't do anything right now (as far as I can tell), but its runs MUCH more smooth on high-brush count maps
