Release 1.8.0 Binaries Broken

pgregory — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:03:50 +0000

Unfortunately, due to unexpected last minute changes to support the switch to Qt from FLTK, both the Windows and MacOSX binary releases of Aqsis 1.8.0 are broken.

We will be working as fast as possible to address this and release an updated 1.8.1 as soon as feasible.

I will post notification here when it is available.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Release 1.8 Delayed

pgregory — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 07:56:58 +0000

For unavoidable reasons, we've decided to delay the release of 1.8 for up to 1 month.

The development of key functionality has had to be put on hold for a short while, and it was decided that, rather than release an incomplete implementation on time, it would be better to delay the release for a short while and release with all intended functionality.

One of the important considerations in this decision was the apparent lack of urgent requirement for the 1.8 release. If anyone disagrees with this, please contact me and we may review the decision.

Just thought I'd drag this up to the front page, as it's cool and important. Nfz has been putting Chris' PBGI work (1.8) to good use in some sample scenes using RIBMosaic.

Check the forum post for more cool pictures.
