I don't wish to spam, but it has been a few months since any movement here and it is making OpenMW become a little nervous as to MyGUI's future.
You guys alive? If so, great!
Keeping that in mind, please have a read here:
https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2306
Basically it comes down to this:
I propose an additional solution, let Scrawl (one of our lead developers) also be a member to keep MyGUI alive. He has written a number of patches that are ready to be merged into MyGUI and if you read the link above, has a lot of ideas on how to improve MyGUI with the technical skills to achieve them.
What do you guys think?

Basically it comes down to this:
So, if no release comes out, what options do we have?
a) Do nothing, wait.
b) Get patch into SVN, make OpenMW require MyGUI SVN. OpenMW packages in stable distributions (debian, ubuntu, etc) will have to be put on hold.
c) Fork complete MyGUI to a new project.
d) Fork MyGUI core into OpenMW repository, no longer depend on system-installed MyGUI. Note: MyGUIEngine takes about 2 minutes to build on my system, compared to 15 minutes for openmw (not including launcher, OpenCS and tools)
