Re: [Freeglut-developer] New freeglut release

[John F. F. <joh...@cy...>]

Steve,

	I realize it's not bleeding-edge SVN, but I put out some release 
candidates for a 2.6.0 a few months ago.  If we can't get anything more 
recent out, those older release candidates are at least a large step 
forward from 2.4.0.

I'm up for that - I don't have time this week - but maybe we could aim
to have a release
candidate for me to push out next weekend?
