MakeHuman 1.1.1 (beta 1) is now available for download. The full release notes can be found at http://www.makehumancommunity.org/wiki/Releases:111, but in summary this is a bugfix release where the focus has been on fixing unicode and character conversion problems that have made MH crash on certain versions of windows. 

As it stands, it is possible a few minor details might be fixed before the final release of 1.1.1. However, for all practical purposes, the beta 1 is most likely equal to what will be be released as stable soonish. 

The beta can be downloaded here:

• For windows: http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/nightly/makehuman-1.1.1-beta1-wi...
• For OSX: http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/nightly/makehuman-1.1.1-beta1-os...
• For Linux (debian/ubuntu derivates): https://launchpad.net/~makehuman-official/+archive/ubuntu/makehuman-11x

The Linux PPA version will report as 1.1.0+[date] for the beta, but you'll see "1.1.1" in the window title when you start it.

Please help test the beta in the coming week(s) so we can be sure we stomped out all the bugs. There is a forum thread for this here.
