Actually, I think what I will do is this: Xocolatl will be branched from revision 2302 (probably tomorrow. I doubt I'll have time today) Xocolatl+ will be released when Fenrir-Lunaris finishes his portraits for Vikings of Midgard. Scripted sprite work (and maybe the whole dang "rectangle interface" I keep talking about) can forge on full-steam ahead for the Ypsiliform release (I was going to call the "Y" release Yggdrasil, but decided to save that for a special non-alphabetical release when Fenrir blesses VoM as "complete" (unless of course that happens before Ypsiliform is ready, in which case the Ypsiliform codename can wait another 26 release cycles to get use)) --- James _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
