GemRB is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine. It was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment).
Two years in the making, this release is as full of fixes and polishing as Tiax is of himself. The most noticeable changes are for BG1 players, since it lacked more audio mechanics than any other game, but all the rest received ample attention as well. Modding is now also easier, but you'll have to wait for the next WeiDU release. The pathfinder upgrade was delayed, but you can expect a state-of-the-art version in the next release, which will focus on finishing the GUI handling rewrite. You can help us get there faster!
For the details, try GemRB yourself or check the full announcement for some highlights and downloads.
