The COLLADA plugin is contributed to by a range of developers, as its relatively large plugin and I'm swamped with other work I have stepped back and let those contributing to the plugin dictate its ongoing development. The version that the OSG plugin works with has shifted around as OSG contributors catch up with various points in time for the COLLADA plugin, sometimes stable sometimes development. A bit confusing yes, even I am not totally clear on it at all times. Ideally once we get to stable versions of the OSG, we do need to settle upon stable version of COLLADA. Development versions of the OSG are OK to use dev versions of COLLADA, but I guess we just need to get better at notifying when this is the case. I need to contributors to OSG's COLLADA plugin to come forward with this. > My patch fixes the Collada plugin to > work properly with the development version of the DOM, but then it won't > work any longer with the last stable release.

BTW, you could use the OSG community as a bit of tests of DOM 2.0, personally I'd rather we make sure DOM 2.0 is really solid across platforms and usable for the whole OSG community once it and OSG-2.4 come out, even if this does mean those on the bleeding edge OSG development having to checking out COLLADA SVN.
