Downloads
These are major/minor releases of ReCaged and older versions and tests. You can use either gnupg (recommended) or md5sum for validating:
To check that a downloaded file is correct, either use gpg (after importing the key above and downloading the tarball and the signature): "gpg --verify recaged_x.y.z.tar.gz.sig", or md5sum (after downloading the checksum file and the tarball): "md5sum -c MD5SUM"
The "w32" archives contains a Windows (32 bit) compiled executable and the data+document files. They are 7z archives, which can be extracted using (for example): 7-Zip.

Major/minor releases of ReCaged, sorted with newest version first:
Version 0.7.0
First release under the name "ReCaged" and using three-sequence versioning. Library dependencies: ode, sdl and glew. Also needs some standard libraries and g++, make, etc... A quick list of packages needed for compilation on debian: build-essential, libsdl-dev, libode-dev and libglew-dev. See included README for more details.
ReCaged v0.7.0
w32 GPG w32 GPG TarballFeatures a lot of improvements. Among the most noticeable additions are: loading of 3D models from external files (.obj/.mtl and custom .road) for both rendering and collision detection, and a much more realistic tyre friction simulation (inspired by the Pacejka Magic Formula).
Versions before "ReCaged"
Available for history. You'll notice some initial versions are missing, that's because they were "proof of concepts" and the work needed to cleaning up+add licensing would be a lot considering the result would be of no real interest.
"RollCageX"
More primitive, but shows the progress step by step until the current versions. Requires SDL and ODE libraries (and dev libs). Note: v0.05 and v0.06 requires ODE built with single-precision (float), and not double (on debian, just install the "libode-sp-dev" package instad of "libode-dev").
RollCageX v0.05
w32 GPG w32 GPG TarballA much more developed version than "0.04": cleaner directory tree, addition of shading for graphics, configuration file loading and (dummy) "object" loading and much more
You need ODE built with single-precision
Remove the "mtune" and "march" arguments from the makefile (if you're not using i686)
Microengine
An old concept: a script-based game engine, with all functions provided by shared objects (C/C++) loaded at runtime: "plugins". Requires SDL library (and dev lib). While the idea has been revived for a future release, it will now be based on LUA scripting and will not load "plugins" (better to just link everything into one executable).
