To follow up on this: It seems like the initial testing round went pretty
well, with mostly minor problems being reported, and many of them being fixed
already. I'm hoping to roll up the tar files for the release itself this
weekend. I'm not sure whether we'll be able to transfer those to the main
webserver instantly, as there were some problems recently. If not, I hope
that John Wojnaroski can again provide some server space. In the mean time,
I guess we need to make a final decision on the version number...
Another question: we always have a limited number of aircraft that are in the
distribution, with the rest being available as separate downloads. We like to
keep the number of aircraft constant, and representative of the many types of
aircraft supported by FlightGear. Is there any pressing reason to swap one
aircraft for another one? IIRC, there have been some suggestions of replacing
the 737 by the 787. FWIW, we currently have the following selection of
aircraft (Taken from Makefile.am):
data/Aircraft/Generic \
data/Aircraft/Instruments \
data/Aircraft/Instruments-3d \
data/Aircraft/UIUC \
data/Aircraft/737-300 \
data/Aircraft/A-10 \
data/Aircraft/bf109 \
data/Aircraft/bo105 \
data/Aircraft/c172 \
data/Aircraft/c172p \
data/Aircraft/c310 \
data/Aircraft/c310u3a \
data/Aircraft/Citation-Bravo \
data/Aircraft/f16 \
data/Aircraft/j3cub \
data/Aircraft/Hunter \
data/Aircraft/p51d \
data/Aircraft/pa28-161 \
data/Aircraft/Rascal \
data/Aircraft/T38 \
data/Aircraft/ufo \
data/Aircraft/wrightFlyer1903 \
Cheers,
