well gman is working on it (says on his forum), and the official irrlicht release has only been out like 5 days. He has been pretty damn good at keeping it updates. He (or someone else) also converted all the irrlicht tutorials from c++ to blitzmax, which come with the download package.
I can't see why people can't get behind the irrlicht engine a little more. Given it supports old and new hardware, and is quite stable, has a beautiful editor and loads of third party libs, it seems like a far more viable alternative to Max3D (from what mark has said of it) for the casual gaming market.
Especially given that the most common GPU atm is the intel chip (info taken from the unity player stats), and Max3D doesn't seem like it will be supported for it.
with a flip of a variable you can use opengl, software renderer, dx8 or dx9 for the renderer. Or build your own renderer.
