Hi Folks, Well, if some of you might have noticed, the release process is going somewhat slower than we had all hoped for I would just like to give a quick heads up though.
First of all, there are two major reasons that are holding us back. 1) There are still a few bugs to be checked, in addition to investigating the possibilities of setting up a proper bug tracking system for FlightGear. Secondly, and as importantly, there is currently a considerable uncertainty with regards to the windows build. In the last couple of years, we've been able to distribute a very nice windows build, including a nice installer and a launcher, provided by Frederic Bouvier. Unfortunately, we've been unable to get a hold of Fred in recent months. I certainly hope that everything is okay with him, but in the mean time, we have to consider how to do a windows build. In particular, it would be very nice to have a similar version as what we had before. We have a very large windows users base, so I believe that this is important. So, I would like to explore some possibilities on how to do this. I have succesfully compiled FlightGear on windows in the past, but this was nowhere as advanced as the setup that Fred was able to provide. I know that a few people have experience in building on windows (Vivian Meazza, Olad Flebbe). So hopefully we can come up with a good windows equivalent.
