Re: [PyOpenGL-Devel] new semi-release soon.

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ro...>]

Sounds fine to me.  

BTW: I've been working on OpenGLContext this weekend (one of my 
long-standing todos was to create a robust stencil-buffer-based shadow 
renderer).  It's going darn slowly (in the middle I realised I needed to 
re-tool the entire scenegraph engine).  I've got the shadow-volume 
calculation done, it's just a matter of integrating it into the 
traversal mechanisms.

Have fun,
Mike
