VO 1.8.483
Cross posted from news..
VO 1.8.483 includes:
- The regular non-HD Android "free" version now includes OpenGL ES 3 driver and performance enhancements for densely populated sectors, such as debris fields, on devices that support OpenGL ES 3. It is used by default on new installs, but existing installs will have to switch to it in Options -> Advanced -> Video -> Change Drivers.
More changes in the works, but some last-minute bugs prevented shipping some new updates for Windows and elsewhere.
We highly recommend that existing Android users switch over to the ES3 renderer, on compatible devices. In heavy sectors it can make for a 7x performance difference, or more.

7x?! Holy cow.
