[Gooseegg-development] Where are we going?

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

As you may have noticed development on Freyja and GooseEgg have started
back up as I found more free time.  

GooseEgg has been resynced with my local tree, and should now build
perfectly once agian.  I also updated some 'plugins' for GooseEgg using
source from Freyja.  As you know GooseEgg doesn't have a real plugin
system like Freyja, so these backports didn't add the Freyja plugin
system itself.  If you'd like to see GooseEgg have the image and model
plugin system backported, then request it.  I didn't know the
sourceforge cvs tree was damaged until I got an email telling me it
didn't build and files were missing.  =)

Freyja is skipping 0.2.x asap and moving to 0.3.x with scriptable gtk+
wigdets and Egg v9.00 backend.  A lot of this is happening outside the
sourceforge cvs tree.  I'm moving Egg v9.00 into a class based system
with possible iterators. It should also keep the exact interface to
EggPlugin, or at least be backwards compatible to use all the plugins
I've done so far.  Freyja 0.2.x will never be a 'finished' project now
and it's for the best.  I will bump the version number on completeness
as I go.  When I hit 0.4.x it will have all the features of past gegg
and freyja builds plus finished editors for material, shaders, and
particles.  The reason Freyja lagged was due to the horrible Egg v8.xx
backend, which may have been more abstract was slow and clumsy.  With
Egg 9.xx series I plan to build on the good points of past series and
shift focus on being a modeling backend and not just a generic format.

cheers,
Terry
