- (I somehow haven't recieved any executor messages lately - I
- resubsribed yesterday though.)
-
- I haven't spent much time with 1.99n, but I already have a couple
- of thoughts :
-
- 1. When will the SVGAlib version be completed and released? It
- looks pretty close to hackathon time now...
-
- 2. I noticed that in 1.99n, the `animation' technique is now
- used all the time with the new blitter. It makes things a bit slower
- under X-Windows, I'm afraid, than the cached approach used in 1.99m.
-
- 3. Pagemaker 4.2 still dosen't work - this time any attempt to
- place a file will segfault right away. :( I did notice the bug report
- listed in bugs.199n though...
-
- 4. What is the current release schedule? Will there be a 1.99o
- before the hackathon?
-
- 5. Will there ever be any `alpha' releases or snapshots? It
- seems we all have to wait a while for new full releases to come out -
- which are beta quality. It would be nice to see more frequent releases -
- even if they're buggier. (as in 1.99n1, n2, n3) - the ones without
- numbers being stabilized betas.
-
- Good luck - and Executor 2.0 looks like it will be really cool
- when it comes out! Keep it up!
