Are you sure that a 2.1.x branch is really needed ? As a user of the freeglut and plib libraries I have faced maintenance problems due to experimental versions having less features than the stable versions in the past. It is not obvious in people's mind that the 2.1.0 version have less features than the 2.0.1 one. Generaly people tends to install the higher version numbers... Considering the amount of work needed to release a new version, having experimental branches for plib and freeglut may be a little too much, no ? And I also vote for the mouse wheel support ;-) Keep up the good work, Eric. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= TORCS The Open Racing Car Simulator AKA The Other Release Coming Soon (Skin'r) http://torcs.org =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= |
