Hi Art et al. I support inclusion of the range of ShaderModel 4.0 style OpenGL extension in 2.4 rather, but not 2.2. For 2.2 we are very close to feature freeze.
My focus for 2.2 right now is stabilising the build and execution across platforms. I will consider minor feature enhancements that come that look like they won't interfere with the stability and build of the OSG, i.e. are very low risk. I won't merge higher risk changes, or hold back 2.2 for feature x. It is my plan to keep stable releases coming out every 2 to 3 months, and dev releases every week, so the need to try to get lots of features packed in is not required. Having a stable platform is more important than features. Robert.
