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.

We are now officially in phase 1 of the release process for 1.8. this means the features are confirmed for release, as detailed after the break, and there is a 3-4 week period during which these features will be complete (functionally).

Chris has been busy working on the core refactor for Aqsis 2.0, as the latest blog entry shows. Follow the link for more detail.
