Hi guys,
Raphael pointed out on IRC that the great OpenGL work that went into the last release wasn't mentioned in the "What's new" list that goes out with each snapshot.
As it's unreasonable to expect Alexandre to remember or mention every large piece of work that goes into any given release, how about we use the Wiki to note big items as they are checked into CVS. By "big item" I mean either:
- Large improvements to a particular subsystem - Adding "gold" compatibility with a well known app - Some other end-user interesting feature
For instance, I'd say "header cleanups" are less interesting to users than "OpenGL improvements for Warcraft". That's not a criticism of Alexandre, it's totally reasonable that he puts things in that he can quickly remember and as he's closer to parts of the system like import libraries and headers it's natural that this is what springs to mind first. But we can do better.
If people think it's a good idea, I'll create a scratchpad page on the Wiki we can use for the next release. Anybody should be able to add things that are "big", then when doing a release Alexandre can pick and choose the ones he thinks are best to put in What's New.
Thoughts?
thanks -mike
