Hi all,

The preliminary 2.2 release schedule can be found at:

Now grumble and argue. ;-)

Now grumble and argue. ;-)

Since r40199, both the physics1 and physics2 plugins should now be
compatible with most versions of the Bullet library. It has been tested
with Bullet version 2.78, 2.80, 2.81 and 2.82.

Looking at the release 2.2 schedule, I would not yet remove the physics1
plugin because the second one is not yet fully functional and would need
further use and testing. We can deprecate it though.

Many thanks for the work here Christian.

The physics plugins now all build for me. I have closed bug #11. Any
further bugs, crashes, tasks, enhancements should be reported on the
ticket system and handled on a case by case basis.

Lets keep the phyics1 plugin on as an item and add data too it and
decide its future between us a little closer to release time.

Will this by an Binary release, including cs binaries with correct
dependencies ??
The reason of my questions is because sometimes, in some distribuitons
(linux or gnu/linux :P) is very disturbing to downgrade a lot of
specific lib/dependencies (or upgrade) and I've had a lot of trouble
to compiling it correctly last time (on centos).
Binary releases with theirs specific dependencies with the
correct/supporte version bundled makes the engine a little more
'user-friendly' if I may say.

Binary packages will be released for at least GNU Linux. At present I
intend to build binaries for:

* Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS and 14.10 in dev release.
* Fedora 20 and 21 if close or out by then.
* RHEL/CentOS 6.x and 7.x if out by then.

Note: RHEL/CentOS builds depend on the EPEL repo.

Don't worry about CentOS builds. CentOS 6.x is the primary test machine
of the release guy and where all RPM builds are tested. ;-)

Windows binaries are waiting for a volunteer? :-D

Sory .. I 'didnt wrote why some are missng..
At time I was downloading some of dependencyes withour any release,
like sources from sourceforge.. some dependencies didn't gave me
options, or I didn't finded, option for folder releases ( compatible
with Cs)
Since the wore optional after loosing some time.. I've decided to go
on without some of them...
By with this new release with dependencies this
"user-friendly-installation-issue" will improve alot the "quickstart"
with the Engine..
BTW Great Work!

2.2 will be far simpler for those who want to install from package.

The only issue at present is what to do about Crazy Eddies GUI lib as it
is not packaged for RHEL/CentOS. Current thinking is for me to package
it for us myself based on relevant Fedora source packages.

Regards

Phil
