PyFFI 2.1.2

Another quick bugfix release to resolve a regression bug affecting Fallout 3 skin partitions. The niftoaster optimize spell also got a bug fixed in its makefarnif spell. Finally, initial bsa file support has been added (for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3).

PyFFI 2.1.1 released

This is just a very quick bugfix release. The nif.xml file got corrupted while preparing the 2.1.0 release (affecting mostly Fallout 3) - this release ships with the correct xml file.

Apologies for the inconvenience...

PyFFI migrated from svn to git

PyFFI is now using git instead of svn. If you are on windows, you'll need msysgit which you can get from

http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

To get the latest source code, start a shell (or, the Git Bash on windows), and type

git clone git://github.com/amorilia/pyffi.git

The simplest way to contribute to pyffi, is to fork it (yes! merging is easy so forking is encouraged!) for instance on github:
