In fact, sadly it seems pretty difficult to find a positive comment about 1.9 :(
Unfortunately, it appears that nowadays pretty much every FG developer runs
NVidia, and often Linux, so we're simply not using the same platform as a
lot of our users.
I think it's something we need to bear in mind for the next release. We'll need
to put more effort to get external testing of RCs on Windows/ATI.

Except that the aircraft downloads etc. on the flightgear website are now
only 1.9...
Given that the only announcement for 1.9 is a single line on the website,
this isn't surprising. As far as I am aware, we haven't really "announced"
1.9 either through the -user mailing list, or the Forum. Durk - do we have
a change-log we can advertize yet?
