Surely a bug-fix 2.7.0 branch is simply just the 2.6.0 maintenance branch? I'm not aware of any significant development on next so far beyond RTI from Matthias and some materials work that I've been doing. > If 3.0 turns out to require more time than expected (I probably know the > answer to that one) then there's always a really stable version 2.8 > which can be released. Sounds like a reasonably plan, but let's aim for success :) On the subject or "Rembrandt Ready" aircraft, I'd prefer not adding this explicitly to the aircraft status. If Rembrandt is the rendering technology for FG 2.8.0 (or 3.0.0), then aircraft maintainers are responsible for ensuring their aircraft work with the release, as they would be for any other change to FDM format etc. Instead, I'd prefer the approach we'd take with any other change that requires work by aircraft maintainers. I thought I saw a wiki article explaining how this was managed, but I can't find it at present other than this: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Aircraft_maintenance IIRC maintainers are given a reasonable time to make changes themselves, after which FG core devs go in with a pick-axe and make the changes themselves. Or am I making that up? I'm sure with enough volunteers we can split up the 400 aircraft and churn through them one at a time given a well-defined process from Fred. I'd guesstimate < 1hr per aircraft. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
