Hi there,

I'm happy to announce the release of Lugaru HD 1.1, which is the first
official release from the OSS Lugaru project [0] (and from any open
source Lugaru fork AFAIK)!

We timed the release to match that of the Lugaru campaign in
Overgrowth alpha 227 by Wolfire [1].

See the full release notes and download links for Linux, macOS and
Windows binaries on GitLab [2].

## Highlights

- Multiple campaigns support, making it easier to install and play mods!
- These Lugaru mods are included by default as alternative to the
Turner official campaign:
  * Temple, by Silb (CC-BY-SA 3.0)
  * Empire, by Jendraz (CC-BY-SA 4.0)
  * The Seven Tasks, by Philtron R. (albeit with some engine-related
issues) (CC-BY-SA 4.0)
- All assets (animations, textures, models, maps, sounds, etc.) of
Lugaru HD by Wolfire are under a free and open source license
(CC-BY-SA 3.0)!
- Window and input management ported from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2.0,
improving the support for modern screen resolutions and fullscreen
mode, as well as better input handling.
- Dehardcoded game data loading, making proper system-wide installs
possible on Linux


We'd welcome any feedback about this release here on the ML or on the
GitLab issue tracker [3], and of course patches/merge requests are
very welcome.

The development does not stop at this release, we're still quite
motivated and intend to continue modernizing the code base, fixing
bugs and adding some new features as time permits. Feel free to join
us! :)
