Adminotech Tundra 2.3 for Windows and Mac OSX are now out. Here is the quick rundown.
*General* - All Adminotech pull request have been reviewed and passed in to the main realXtend Tundra code repository. These were the main difference between 2.2.x rex releases and 2.2.x Adminotech releases. Basically we had some additional features that we developed and wanted to ship in our releases before they were merged into the mainline Tundra. - We will probably continue to keep release pace quicker than the realXtend releases. This means shipping bug fixes, features and potential extra plugins quicker to the end users. Though I don't see any additional plugins that we might ship in the near future as AssetInterestPlugin was accepted into main Tundra codebase. *Windows* - Dues to 2.3 jumping to 1.8 based Ogre some pretty severe OpenGL rendering bugs were discovered. In some cases this made the scenes look funny and in my opinion render them unusable (examples http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3589544/rmp-platform-mesh-artifact.png and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3589544/rmp-platform-mesh-artifact2.png). So I decided to move Adminotech releases back to DirecX rendering, however its not linking to DirectX yet, that will enable some speedups in certain UI rendering operations, but this will be fixes in the next minor release. - Going back to DirectX (+ the pull requests were merged) makes Adminotech Windows release identical in features compared to the realXtend Windows .exe release. I'd like to add though that UpdateModule is enabled in our builds that will notify and install when you wish new releases automatically. - Auto update should work as expected and Adminotech hosting login portals should have up to date links.

Cvetan (our mac guy) made several builds and hunted crash bugs. The main issue has been fixed in our 2.3 Mac release but still persists in the Ogre fork we use from deps: https://github.com/realXtend/naali/issues/397, it was a quick fix of some sort and hopefully we can find the misbehaving part in Tundra and fix it properly in either Tundra or our Ogre fork. - Known issues: MumblePlugins audio wizard has some user interface bugs. UI bugs are one big thing that Mac is suffering from in many other places too. - Auto update should work as expected. Direct download link https://github.com/downloads/Adminotech/tundra/Adminotech-Tundra-2.3.0.0.dmg *Adminotech Tundra Hosting* - All hosting has been updated to Tundra 2.3. I had a few problems on the servers also with the 1.8 based Ogre or the lack of the null rendering plugin to be specific. But I built it and after that everything was good. Total downtime was probably something around 10-15 minutes as was expected. Let us know if you have problems with the login portals or the releases. If it seems like a general bug in Tundra you can use the realXtend issue tracked <https://github.com/realXtend/naali/issues> like normal.
