Mana client 0.7 released
The Manasource organisation is pleased to announce the release of Mana 0.7. This is a major update, bringing back the Mana client as a viable client for playing both The Mana World and its spin-off Source of Tales.
Highlights
Mana 0.7 has been ported to SDL 2, ships with two additional UI themes and packs a tremendous list of new features to support the current versions of tmwAthena and Manaserv.
Graphical updates have been made as well, featuring Windowed Fullscreen support, V-Sync and variable-time logic updates to play smooth on displays with high framerates. There is also automatic scaling to support HiDPI displays and improved quality of outlined text rendering.
The full changelog can be found in the repository.

The release is available as Windows installer, macOS app bundle and Linux snap, Flatpak or AppImage. Check out the download page for all the links!
Contribute / Feedback
As the first major release in 13 years, it is of course not perfect. Any feedback is welcome! Maybe you’d like to join the development of this open source classic?
With the update to SDL 2, modern CMake and C++17, contributing to this client couldn’t be easier regardless of your operating system. Care has been taken to simplify the code, leading to a net reduction by over 2000 lines of C++ code even with all the features added in this release.
