"Support for HP's AIX operating system, bringing the total number of
supported operating systems to 8."
It shoule be HP's
HP-UX and IBM's AIX

Subject: [osg-users] OpenSceneGraph-1.2
released ;-)
Hi All,
I have just tagged OpenThreads-1.5, Producer-1.1
and OpenSceneGraph-1.2, and have uploaded the OSG_OP_OT-1.2.zip
to:
http://openscenegraph.org/osgwiki/pmwiki.php/Downloads/Downloads
The news item (also copied below) on the release can be found
at:
http://openscenegraph.org/osgwiki/pmwiki.php/News/News#osg_1.2
The tags for the release are:
OpenThreads_1_5_release_revision_1
Producer_1_1_release_revision_1
OpenSceneGraph_1_2_release_revision_1
The binaries haven't been built
yet, I'll upload these once a kindly community member or two posts them (most
like Mike and Eric :-)
We'll need to tell the world about the
release, so I've updated the Spreading The News wiki page with todo's for all
the various sites to pass on the News item to:
http://openscenegraph.org/osgwiki/pmwiki.php/Tasks/SpreadingTheNews
I
haven't done any spreading the news yet, and won't do any tonight as I need a
rest, but feel free to go ahead and pass the news on, and update the wiki page
to say you've done it. P'word for wiki page is osg.
Many thanks
to all thosewho've contributed code, bug fixes, reported and track down bugs,
helped test.
Happy hacking!
Robert.

OpenSceneGraph 1.2 release introduces Windows 64bit and AIX support,
COLLADA support, processor affinity and texture atlas builder.PERTHSHIRE,
Scotland - 12th September 2006 - OpenSceneGraph Professional Services
announces the release of OpenSceneGraph 1.2, the industry's leading open
source scene graph technology, designed to accelerate application development
and improve 3D graphics performance. OpenSceneGraph 1.2, written entirely in
Standard C++ and built upon OpenGL, offers developers working in the visual
simulation, game development, virtual reality, scientific visualization and
modeling markets a real time visualization tool which rivals established
commercial scene graph toolkits in functionality and performance.
OpenSceneGraph 1.2 runs on all Microsoft Windows platforms, Apple OS/X,
GNU/Linux, IRIX, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and FreeBSD operating systems. The
OpenSceneGraph-1.2 release introduces:
- Support for Windows 64 build, allowing Windows programmers to take
advantage of greater scalability previously only available to OpenSceneGraph
users under Linux, IRIX, Solaris, FreeBSD and OSX.
- Support for HP's AIX operating system, bringing the total number of
supported operating systems to 8.
- COLLADA plugin support for both the reading and writing of COLLADA 1.4
.dae files. COLLADA is the new industry standard data asset exchange format
that is now supported by a range of 3D modelling packages and provides a
unified art path route to and from the OpenSceneGraph.
- Processor affinity support allowing application to lock cull-draw and
database processes to specific processors, thereby avoiding cache coherency
problems associated with processes moving from processor to processor.
- A Texture Atlas builder has been added to the database optimization
classes, allowing either manual or automated setting up of texture atlas.
Using texture atlas can improve performance by reducing the number of state
changes required to render a scene, and by allowing databases to batched in
large groups of geometry, in a form that better suits modern graphics
architectures.
- GPU timing stats have been added to the viewer class, provided the time
taken to process allow drawing operations down on the GPU for the previous
frame. Coupled with the existing timing of CPU update, cull and draw
dispatch the stats reporting now provides the end user with a clearer idea
of whether their application is CPU or GPU limited and server as a better
guide to performance optimization work.
- A range of bug fixes and API refinements.
The OpenSceneGraph-1.2
release is the culmination of 7 years development, with contributions from 209
developers from around the world. The user base is composed of a wide range of
industry and academic users with over 1400 developers subscribed to the
projects public support mailing list. For further information and to download
the latest release see the project website: http://www.openscenegraph.org
