DarkRadiant Files

DarkRadiant 2.9.0 is ready for its public release. This version includes a large change to DarkRadiant's module architecture, separating UI code from the actual algorithms almost everywhere. Aside from that, most efforts went into bug fixing and stabilisation - with the occasional convenience feature here and there. TDM mappers will like the first incarnation of the TDM Game Connection plugin (usable in TDM 2.09+). It's recommended to prefer this version over any previous release.

A changelog of tracked issues can be found on the Bugtracker Changelog and the first post of the release announcement thread.
