Having begun work on it sometime after the domestication of rice, the heroic mad lads over at OpenMW—the open-source engine reimplementation for The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind that lets you play it with a minimum of fuss on pretty much any modern OS—have finally released its much-anticipated 0.49 update. Okay, work actually began on it almost three years ago, but do you remember what you were doing three years ago? Me neither. Pretty much the Bronze Age.
This is a big one, folks, and I strongly recommend trawling through its giganto release post if only because capo, its author, is a genuinely entertaining writer. But to boil it down: Morrowind players have been lusting after a full release for 0.49 for some time, in no small part because of the way it buffs up OpenMW's capacity to handle lua mods.
