Until some weeks ago, there was a standard recommendation in the wiki to use latest OSG-svn when running FG git (actually in several places in the wiki). But using the bleeding edge OSG sources causes issues, since OSG development is pretty active and they have frequent changes. There is no way we could keep up/test those changes on weekly/daily/hourly notice. And sometimes OSG itself is also introducing new bugs in their code (like this probably: http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=268). Recently we've seen many people reporting issues due to unstable OSG - both, in the tracker and on the mailing list. Also, we found that any "normally advanced" FG git user doesn't even need to run the very latest OSG sources. Those very few who actually need it (i.e. in order to adapt FlightGear), know anyway what to do (hey Tim! :) ). So, after some discussion we decided to recommend the latest _stable_ OSG release by default (which still is OSG2.8.3). And for those, who really want to be a guinea pig and test the OSG-developer versions, we found that 2.9.9 was the latest (at the time) which was working with Linux/Mac/Windows (reported by several people on irc including Tim/James, I think). That's why the wiki was changed (default: 2.8.3, and 2.9.9 for keen developers). And it was me updating the OSG wiki page: http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/OSG Personally, I prefer to stick with OSG stable (2.8.3) - which works great for me. There are still enough issues in FG git itself to worry about... ;-) I just noticed though, that a number of wiki pages again returned to recommend the use of latest OSG-svn *sigh*. I don't know why people keep recommending that... cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
