Re: [www-vrml] FreeWRL 1.17 released.



Hi Sandy;

Thanks for the pat on the back.  A lot of work has gone into this, and
there'll be a lot more.

1) We are always looking for good programmers to work on some
smaller projects - eg, as you have probably noted, Text formatting is not
100% yet. If you know anyone interested...


2) I had a lot of fun pushing multi-threading. Unfortunately, I have had my
first report of it hanging on a Debian Linux system; it looks like I'll have to
fix this and release another source package.


Currently there are a few threads running in FreeWRL; I'd like to be able to
really multithread to push multi-processor or multi-core machines.


Nothing ventured, nothing gained...


Big congrats...running it on a PowerPC mac and it's THE FIRST vrml browser that's been able to display
some old worlds with text in it...almost everything (including HUDs) work!
Not everything ...but almost ;-)
Sandy
