I agree. The PLIB branch was only kept alive for a short time
after the 1.0 release, just for the case that we missed some
really bad bugs and needed to make a bugfix release. Making
another release from that would be rather pointless, and not
help to convince people that fgfs is not "dead". Rather the
opposite.

> OSG based main release: 1.1.0 (or 1.2.0)

I like the idea of an 1.9 release from the OSG branch. This
makes clear that it's one step before a major release 2.0,
and that there were fundamental changes (additions and also
temporary losses). We could easily explain why clouds/shadows
are missing there, and it might attract new developers who
are interested and knowledgable in OSG. Also, the multiscreen
feature could attract developers from institutions/companies
who need that for their simulators.
