Thanks for testing out the branch Colin. I believe I just fixed the Windows related build bug so the build scripts should work as expected on Windows, *nix & OS X.
As for how to distinguish between the up3-sandbox code and what is currently being worked on? I'm not sure either other than the simple 'move stuff around' approach I outlined in my first email. Any other comments/suggestions would be great. -Eric Colin Clark wrote: > Hi Eric, > > You've done a lot of work in quite a short amount of time.
