Hi,

If you're following @sldev-commit, you've seen a huge commit today being a
2.0.2 update. There's a new one coming marked 2.1 with more code (parabuild
in progress before export). The whole code should be available shortly.

However, there are issues with that branch: viewer-public contains code
newer than viewer-release and the resulting executable is, today, very
unstable. I've been crashing on Mac as soon as I login. I would not
recommend using that code base for your casual build/test. Pull that code
*only* if you're curious about the code of the new features (voice morphing
for instance).

viewer-public will certainly be beaten back into shape in the new few days
by the viewer team (most of them working in viewer-public) and
viewer-external will follow suit at the next daily sync, as always.

This suboptimal state of affair underlines a problem that we need to solve:
there is enough new development happening in viewer-public that this branch
can be at time unreliable. Similar unstabilities were was the reason why we
decided for instance to pause syncing Snowglobe 2.0 with viewer-external,
waiting for a complete Snowglobe 2.0 to be released.

For new releases though (like 2.1 beta 0), this is really annoying as it
sorts of create a blur between releases and workable FLOSS code.

As a consequence, we decided to create a clean export of that branch in a
separate svn repo. We will in the future do a similar export for all viewer
releases.

I've been working on this today and hope to get something cleanly exported
within the next few days.

Cheers,
- Merov
