Yes, which is the coming up question. We may hope, and pray, that everything would be right, NOW. (though, we know that there is a 3DClouds difficulty) OR, wait for that coming stable 2.8 OSG version, and ask to any users, with any configuration to test fully that FG version. I can be alone to think that there is a lot of users who are still working with the last stable OSG version ( i have friends in that case). If yes, these users have not been able, along the past weeks, to test the last FG updates ( like i was not, until, recently, i could get a free computer to build a specific FG configuration). In addition to it, the boost library being now necessary, they could have some difficulties (the first time) to build FG. That could lead to a necessary delay before getting some useful feedback, and the coming period is not the best, holiday period, people could be far from any computer, and giving the priority to the family life. > b) If you want a release soon, stick to the date. > > Your choice. > SNIP Regards -- Gérard http://pagesperso-orange.fr/GRTux/ J'ai décidé d'être heureux parce que c'est bon pour la santé.
