No, but we can set that up. Afaik, there are no specific criteria regarding 
0.24 other than "kinda soon" and "before s5".

That planner interface looks very feature-rich :)

Has any more work been done behind the scenes on setting goals for the 0.24
release? It would be cool to track those in xplanner as well.

Chris is referring here to a proposal for the X3D format/language (new 
version of VRML) to add the sensor nodes mentioned, by the way.

Hi, just a few comments on other status that may interest.
I have been testing tcp/ip networking with an implementation of the network
sensor nodes in Flux. I have been able to get the basic test examples to
work with two linux servers. An example of the nodes is given below. For the
mass avatar event at siggraph I will be working on modifying the
communications for UDP.

This raises the possibility of testing vos server with these nodes if ur
inteterested.

A description of the test examples and MM server is at
http://www.mediamachines.com/hydra/
my experience with installing / running the server is at:
http://planet-earth.org/smam/fluxServerInstallRun.html
tho u would be wanting to run your own vos server.

I am also running a 2 hr multisuer virtual world BOF at siggraph (August) so
if you want me to demo vos let me know. I would want something that would
not require old browser versions, old java etc if possible because I need to
be able to demo other stuff with current tech as well.

cheers,

chris

My apologies if anyone got that impression.  For the record, the Python
bindings were started by Reed, but Hugh has contributed the bulk of the
work at getting the bindings up to speed and covering most of the core VOS
API.

Just a quick update...

Life has been intruding a bit on my VOS development, but things are still 
progressing a bit.  As mentioned in my previous email I'm building a fast 
new system that should help streamline development a bit (as well as make 
it possible to start thinking about advanced features like shaders, which 
my old laptop simply can't do).  That's going to take a few more days to 
get built and set up and configured, though.


A great deal of progress has been made on Python bindings via SWIG.  Most 
of the core VOS API is accessable via Python, including callbacks 
occurring from separate c++ threads (it properly locks the python 
interpreter now).


Physics is close to working.  Things fall down and roll around, but there 
are still a some issues related to controling the avatar when the physics 
system is also acting upon it.


I'm hoping to have good VRML loading soon, but that's really Reed's area, 
so he'll have to tell us how that's going.


If all goes well, we should have a new release in four to six weeks.

Anyone else working on anything interesting?
