Strangely I received  the original message today, but dated 01/12/2015.

Anyway, we don't have any requests, are currently building the master using gcc 4.8.2, clang 3.3 and VS 2013 with no major issue so far.

I don't think I received this after sending earlier this week, and fear that 
nobody else did, either. So here it is again:


Welcome to 2015!

I've created an OpenImageIO "RB-1.5" branch, and tagged its current head as 
"Release-1.5.8beta1".

Now is the time to make sure you can build successfully on your platform of 
choice (and please send patch suggestions for how to fix anything broken), so 
we can be confident of clean builds to have a final release.

Since quite a few places (including my company) tend to work right out of master, I'm fairly 
confident that the current code is solid, so I'm hoping for a very short "beta" period 
(basically, this week), followed by a "release candidate", and barring critical bugs, an 
official release no later than some time next week.

If anybody has a patch (or a request for a fix) that will necessitate a 
non-backwards-compatible change to public APIs or linkage, speak up 
IMMEDIATELY, or be resigned for it to be part of the 1.6 development.

I will soon update the versioning of "master" to reflect that it's in-progress 
work on an eventual 1.6, and of course new features may be added at any time that break 
compatibility. Note also that, as discussed before, for 1.6 we are going to assume a 
minimum of gcc 4.8.1 / clang 3.3 / Visual Studio 2012. In the coming weeks, we'll try to 
sort out exactly which new C++ features we want to encourage in future development. But 
the upshot is that at some point this year, it's likely that if you are still using older 
compiler versions (despite http://www.vfxplatform.com/), you may find yourself stuck with 
OIIO 1.5 until you catch up.
