That is correct, except that the history is in viewer-development, which I'm sure is what you meant. >> * Take down the Snowglobe subversion repository > That's going to be kinda obnoxious, because it means non-Linden Labs > developers won't be able to look back at what was changed in > Snowglobe, when and why.

Viewer developers should be thinking now about how to migrate to the new code base so that you can support your features and interfaces with the new underlying capabilities (and there are more coming) and superior stability that the new code base has. Eventually (and there is _no_ plan for when this will be - certainly longer than 3 months), it will no longer be possible for us to continue to support viewers based on the 1.x code base (including our own), and we'll stop. Well before this happens, we'll have a public discussion about it, and about what must be supported to remain compatible. If you have moved to and stayed reasonably current with the 2.x code base, then it will be a non-event for you. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
