Re: [simspark-devel] releasing rcssserver3d-0.5.8 ?

[Hedayat V. <hed...@ai...>]

Hi Yuan and all,

:) I hope good weekend too!

I think we can have 0.5.8 even earlier. Nao textures can be prepared for 
0.5.9, and I don't know if a smaller soccerbot is needed. If the current 
soccerbot model is going to be omitted, I think it's best to have 0.5.8 
ASAP so that teams will start experimenting with real sized models 
sooner. I think we should resize the pitch and camera acceleration. 
However, since OC/TC has not decided yet, we should retain compatibility 
as you mentioned.
Finally, we need a smaller ball too!

Thanks,
Hedayat
