The current Debian stable ships both 1.34 and 1.35, Debian testing will probably ship with boost 1.42 as default. I think using Debian stable is a good baseline for dependencies especially since the server uses it. I also use Debian stable and don't want to move to testing; testing broke my setup too often. Obviously if Debian Squeeze gets out we could move to a higher boost version, but also read my next paragraph. > * Are there other dependencies we should consider adding? Maybe we can look what other dependencies are lower as Debian stable. But I don't think we should bump dependencies just because we can, I rather wait until the need is there. Some users use older versions and I rather not break their systems without any advantage to ourselves. > What is the current status and plan regarding "switching to OpenGL"?

I still think OGL is the future, only not sure whether now it the time to move to that direction. I would like to help with the OGL stuff, but I also want to move GUI2 forward. The MP lobby showed some of the weaknesses of GUI2 and I like to fix them properly for 1.9, unlike some of the patch-work for 1.8. -- Regards, Mark de Wever aka Mordante/SkeletonCrew _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
