There was a problem that broke the roads feature in emtopology in 2015, not

You realize any major 3D application has literally thousands of active bugs 
at any one time, right?  Even with a team of 100 developers doing nothing 
but bug fixing it's unlikely the application would ever reach bug-free 
status.

The goal at this point is to remove all blocking issues and ensure features 
that currently work do not regress.  Basically, just the stuff I reported. 
The rest is unimportant ;-)

Re: 34 inch monitor

[Doeke Wartena]

I bought a 40 inch monitor :)
The height is good. If it was possible to buy a square monitor I would by
one.
If you buy a monitor, check if your video card can handle it and at what
framerate.
I have a gtx 770, in counter strike I have 300 frames a second. But for 4k
the monitor framerate drops like a bomb...

(o yeah I'm returning the monitor, I prefer 2 monitors instead of 1 big
one.)
