We could also add my mediaurl logout/exit crash fixes and the new texture cache stuff as its ready to be committed. Took my time making it proper and been testing it quite much. There is also new settings tab for both cache max sixes, clearing both caches and if you want to cache only decode jpeg2000 or all formats. Or then again we can leave it for next release for everyone to test it first. Either way its going in tomorrow morning :)
btw. I can see the difference in release mode in login speed even when i have i7 quad core. Im sure this will come even handier for slower pc:s/laptops with heavy worlds. -- Brgrds, Jonne Nauha Gmail via the Nokia N900 ----- Original message ----- > If the backwards compatibility code seems to work well and it's not too > much trouble I think we should just make the quick fix release.
