1.99n notes
(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!
