[Opengc-devel] OpenGC 0.35 available

[Damion S. <dam...@ho...>]

Hi everyone,

OpenGC 0.35 is now available for download. New features include:

1) Fixed a memory leak affecting many of the 737 gauge components. This was
causing OpenGC to consume progressively more memory over time, eventually
overwhelming available system memory (not a good thing...)

2) Added (re-added, actually) support for FlightGear. Please see the readme
for details. Support is still a bit sketchy, but has been tested with
FlightGear 0.80 on two machines running Windows XP.

3) Glut is history! We're now using FLTK to emulate Glut functionality,
which reduces the overall size of the OpenGC distribution and removes
dependence on an external library.

If you have problems, don't hesitate to ask. I am going to avoid releasing a
.zip of the source for several days until I can verify that there aren't any
major problems with this release (like the zip problem that affected 0.30).
CVS access is, of course, still available.

Even if you don't want FlightGear support, I strongly suggest downloading
0.35 to fix the memory leak issue. This version does not require new nav
data, just the exe. Finally - I'd like to remind anyone who has problems to
try downloading the Windows DLL package.

Cheers,
-Damion-
