Our move from XNA to Monogame, which has been years in the making, is finally complete as of today. :fiesta: Monogame-enabled code will be included in next Friday's testing release.

Special thanks to Peter, Carlo, Steffen, and James (and Dennis), who all made this herculean effort possible. This puts Open Rails on a solid foundation for new features and performance improvements in the future.

Been a long time coming! It's about time some serious progress was made toward a new stable version. After all, while it has been fun seeing all these updates in testing, those users and developers who prefer to play it safe with the stable version have been left in the dust for a bit too long now.

Very good, thanks. Does this mean that all the Monogame features are now fully implemented in the latest Unstable version?

No. All this news means is that the testing and unstable versions are finally using the same graphics stack as that of the NewYear fork. This means you can use ReShade with them, and performance should also be slightly improved.

To be included in testing and unstable, individual features need to be separated from the NewYear fork and submitted for mainlining one at a time. However, this task is much easier now that both mainline and NewYear are running on Monogame.

Is there still a plan to have the latest RailDriver configuration version included in the Unstable version of ORTS?
