When we get bug reports, we try to get the bugs fixed as soon as possible.
The problem is that most people never report the bugs they are seeing so we
never have a chance to fix them.
If you know of specific problems with any of the loaders we do, we'd love to
have example data files sent to us so we can correct the problems. The only
loader this does not apply to is the VRML loader, because we're going to
phase that out and use Sun's at some point in the future, dropping support
for the one we did.
If anyone does this, please be as explicit as possible to let us know what
the problem is. This helps tracking down what you think is wrong much easier
for us.
Thanks,
Steve
