The Minetest 5.5.0 feature freeze has begun, which means we'd be very grateful for help testing the prerelease version. We're expecting the release to take place on the 29th at the earliest
Please go crazy, and break all the things!
Highlights
- Switched to our own Irrlicht fork. This has allowed us to fix longstanding bugs with input and graphics.
- Dynamic Media v2
- New map compression algorithm (similar size, but much faster!)
- Work has been done to implement dynamic shadows, but they won't be in the final release due to issues
Warning: Using 5.5 will upgrade maps to a new format. Make sure you make backups of worlds if you want to go back to 5.4.
Known issues
- Shadows can't be controlled by game authors, and have many issues
- CSM mod storage is lost
