Do you really expect the PLIB project to issue major improvements ? In
my eyes PLIB is a project that already started fading out ....
Plib is Steve Baker's project, especially the scene graph bits. It will
see major improvements, only when he writes them, because he is fairly
resistant to letting anyone else do major surgery to that code. So at
some point it will get done, but he's a very busy guy like everyone
else, so it could be 6 months, it could be 5 years.
As we've discussed before, OSG is a worthy option, but it is 'not
trivial' so to speak to switch scene graph libraries out from under such
a complex application as FlightGear, especially since we use so much raw
OpenGL code (scattered throughout the code) to work around the limited
features of plib.
