> * All major bugs fixed?
I found three in the last days - one major and two minor - since I have
added some sunrise/sunset support features to my working copy of Local
Weather, I'll just list the fixes rather than provide the updated files:
***
local_weather.nas, line 2917 (just after 'Starting hard-coded terrain
presampling'), insert the line
setprop("/environment/terrain/area[0]/enabled",1);
(we used to have to start it with that property, or this used to be part
of the compat layer checks, but now it is needed to switch terrain
presampling on properly).
***
weather_tiles.nas, line 857:
rn = 0.1;
is for debug purpose and should be commented out.
***
weather_tiles.nas, line 1004;
var alt = spread * 400.0 + local_weather.cloud_vertical_size_map["Nimbus"]
* 0.5 * m_to_ft;
has an obsolete altitude correction in and should just be
var alt = 400.0;
to get the correct altitude for Nimbostratus layers
***
If someone could just edit these on FGData master please?
Cheers,
* Thorsten

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Reminder for the release process for version 2.6.0
Hi everybody, in less than one week we will pass the outer marker for our release of FlightGear 2.6.0: the creation of the release branches in our git repositories. A good time to read the final checklist: * All features work as desired? * All major bugs fixed? (http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/list?q=-Type%3DFeatureRequest) * All aircraft in FGDATA checked in? * No console debug messages? The EOBT (estimated-off-branch-time?) for our branches is 0800UTC on January, 17th. I'll announce the precise time the evening before that day. Please note that during that short period of 1-2 hours, everybody with commit rights is requested to _NOT_ push anything to our repositories. Go flying, hug your kids, have a beer at the pub - whatever you like. Just stay away from gitorious.org/fg. Please fasten your seat belts, fold away the table in front of you and turn off all your electronic devices. Thanks for flying FlightGear! Torsten on behalf of the entire release crew.
