I was wrong - 1.9.0 was indeed OSG-based. > There's a key difference: The OSG port, at least when it was added to > CVS, was pretty functional almost from day one, even on feeble graphics > cards.

The other key difference is that Rembrandt is an optional graphics feature that's switched off by default. OSG was a complete switch from plib, with no option to allow users to not use it.

So you would prefer not to mention it in the change log and release note? Historically, we've put all sorts of features in the change log. If we caveat that it is under development, I don't see any harm. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
