Is this feature will be in future OGRE versions?

I don't think there are any plans for it, and in general it is a difficult task. You can have the situation where two polygons are intersecting, for example. You might be interested in a technique called 'depth peeling' which allows correct transparency even when the polygons are in the wrong order. Have a look at the NVidia paper here:

And this Ogre thread:

Per-polygon sorting would be dog-slow.

Thanks for answers, i need transparency to show some objects fading in and fading out, and for some objects which are transparent all the time.

Actually I would also appreciate having such a feature in the library, even though it would be slow.
Now, I'm looking for a handy rendering library for non-game project, and even several FPS would be pretty ok for it.
Has something changed since the last post?
