Hi All,
I have just tagged the OpenSceneGraph-2.8.1 release, and have started
updating the website with all the details. The source code can be
grabbed from:
source package : OpenSceneGraph-2.8.1.zip
svn tag: svn co
http://www.openscenegraph.org/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/tags/OpenSceneGraph-2.8.1
OpenSceneGraph
Or from the download page:
http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Downloads?version=90
News item for this release is:
http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/News/Press/OSG2.8.1
We don't yet have any binaries, so could volunteers on the various
platforms pull down the 2.8.1 sources and build the packages as we did
for OpenSceneGraph-2.8.0. It should be possible to ftp the binary
packages on the OSG webiste, I'm afraid I don't recall the log in
details over the top of my head. Perhaps Jose Luis Hidalgo can point
us in the right direction ;-)
Many thanks to all those long suffering contributors that have been
testing and help bug fix on this release.
Happy coding :-)
Robert.
