[Openlancer-programming] First Mailing List E-mail

[erik m. <eri...@gm...>]

Hello and congratulations on being the recipients of the first ever
programming mailing list notification! I am writing to inform you of
exciting developments concerning the Openlancer project. As of 11:32 PM (GMT
-8) last night, the developer's release of Starblazer was uploaded for the
programmers. You may use the following download links:

Starblazer Setup<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/openlancer/OLsetup.msi?use_mirror=osdn>(does
not include source code)
Starblazer Source<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/openlancer/openlancer_starblazer_source_dev.zip?use_mirror=osdn>(does
not include binaries)
*Note: For some bizzare reason, these open up as text in firefox. Use IE to
download them, or go
here<https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=157852>and
find the files manually.

While there are no visible changes between this build and the last stable
patriot build, there has been a massive code overhaul. All of the core
openlancer code files have been rewritten and the entire project has been
optimized. Openlancer now uses the most recent release of Ogre (1.4.0RC1)
and has an updated setup. In addition, there are many new goodies, including
an updated readme, 2 new links, and a clean.bat file which wipes out all
unnessacary files - an excellent way to prepare your working copy for
commitment to the CVS, or even just to keep it tidy. clean.bat will never
delete any of your work, so don't hesitate to use it.

To read about the goals for this release, check this
thread<http://www.openlancer.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=85&topic=701.0>and
be sure to post about any questions or concerns you have.

IMPORTANT CVS INFORMATION: The current working CVS module name has *CHANGED*!
While all the CVS information is the same, instead of downloading the "OL"
module, you must now download the "Openlancer" module. It is a clean upload.
Remember to be careful not to upload unnessacary files when committing to
the repository and to check for updates often.
