Hi Erik,
I noticed the same thing about a week ago while upgrading an application
from osg 1.0 to 2.4. It was on my list of things to look into.

There is certainly a change in behavior, although I can't
pinpoint the change in code yet.
Setting the rotational speed with (0, 0, 1):
OSG 2.2.0 - particles rotate like fans (pinwheels)
OSG 2.4.0 - particles rotate like a margarita blender
(cork-screw)
OSG 2.6.0 - particles rotate like a margarita blender
(cork-screw)
I guess I'm just wondering if this is the expected behavior?
And I'm surprised nobody has a problem with this.
Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,
osgParticle has hardly been touched between OSG-2.2 and
2.6. Use svn
log to check which files have changed.
Robert.
