GLScene Version 1.0
One of the main grudges many people have had with GLScene is that it has never had any real release system in place, the only way of getting the updated source code being
CVS. However, this has is being finally addessed by the community, in the form of
GLScene Version 1.0 [insert fanfare music here].
Right now, we're in the Release Candidate stage, mainly setup by developer
Paul Van Dinther. Below, you can find an (incomplete) set of notes about this release. The download itself can be found at SourceForge's
File Release module∞
The package contains all the available files for GLScene. The advanced demo's have been removed and can be downloaded separately. Although there are later versions available for many of the included third party dll's like ODE, SDL and CG, we have chosen not to update those libraries at this release.
Please test this release on your code and report back via the newsgroups if any issues are encountered and state the release candidate version.
Formal release 1.0 is scheduled for 14 July 2006
