We started a discussion on private@ode.a.o to figure out how we can revive ODE and how we can lower the bar to get more contributions back. Release No release to report in this quarter. Development No significant progress to report. A refactoring to make ODE's OModel more dynamic and thus it can deal better with backward compatibility issues has been started in a non-public local branch.
