[osg-users] OpenSceneGraph-2.5.4 developer release tagged

[Robert Osfield]

Hi All,

I've now tagged the OpenSceneGraph-2.5.4 developer release, you can
grab it from:

  http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Downloads/DeveloperReleases

Details:

    * OpenSceneGraph-2.5.4, released on 12th July 2008.
OpenSceneGraph-2.5.4 introduces osg::KdTree, with automatic KdTree
building on file loads, and automatic use of KdTree during
osgUtil::IntersectionVisitor/LineSegmentIntersector traversals for
significantly speeding up intersection tests. Also various bug and
build fixes.

    source package : OpenSceneGraph-2.5.4.zip
    svn tag: svn co

Full ChangeLog since 2.5.3 below.   Thanks to all the contributors and testers.

On Monday I'll look at integrating osgWidgets, then once the build
looks stable do another quick dev releases, say around Wednesday, then
another dev release on Friday.  The following Monday (21st July) I
plan to make the OpenSceneGraph-2.6 branch, followed up by some quickl
release candidates which we test through the week then tag the final
2.6 stable release on the Thursday or Friday (24th/25th July).

If we miss making 2.6 within this next two week window then I'll have
to tackle it in the week of the 4th to 8th August, as I'm away on
holiday for a week with my family from the 27th July to 3rd August.
This second window is not ideal though as lots of our able bodies will
be preparing for and heading to Siggraph, so if we can we should try
for this next two week window.

Cheers,
Robert.

ChangeLog since 2.5.3:

2008-07-12 12:00 +0000 [r8570]  robert:

	* From Doug McCorkle, "Attached is patch that corrects/improves the
	  following issues with the OBJ loader: 1. Added options to control
	  wether the osgUtil::Tessellator or osgUtil::TriStripVisitor are
	  run. By default they still run just as before. 2. Added support
	  for the Emissive material. The data was being read from the mtl
	  file but was never being applied to the model. 3. This is the
	  main bug addressed, when a model is read in with an alpha value
	  specified like: newmtl Material__8 Ns 24 d 0.33 illum 2 Kd 0.204
	  0.204 0.204 Ks 0 0 0 Ka 0.153 0.153 0.153 where the alpha value
	  is d. The loader would then overwrite the alpha value when
	  reading the diffuse, specular, and ambient colors. I have changed
	  all the material color readers to only set the values they read
	  and to use the default colors specified in the constructor of the
	  obj class. With these changes, the obj reader now handles opacity
	  correctly if the alpha value is specified before the material
	  colo"

2008-07-12 11:19 +0000 [r8569]  robert:

	* Cleaned up osgkdtree example

2008-07-11 20:01 +0000 [r8568]  robert:

	* Updated version numbers for dev release

2008-07-11 19:52 +0000 [r8567]  robert:

	* From Adrain Egli, "i added a default scene with 7 different
	  draggers attached. it's more easy to test the draggers."

2008-07-11 19:43 +0000 [r8566]  robert:

	* From Christophe Loustaunau, "For our application, we need to
	  write tiff file in floats. I have change a little bit the
	  readerWritterTiff : It check the data type of the image (
	  img.getDataType() ) and if it's GL_FLOAT :It save the tiff with
	  float values. Otherwise it does the same thing as before."

2008-07-11 19:23 +0000 [r8565]  robert:

	* From Liang Aibin, " In lastest svn version of OSG, the .ive
	  plugin missing osg::Light, it does not process I/O for
	  osg::Light. Now I have fixed it as follows: 2. In
	  DataInputStream.cpp, I add support code in
	  DataInputStream::readStateAttribute for osg::Light. 3. In
	  DataOutputStream.cpp, I add support code in
	  DataOutputStream::writeStateAttribute for osg::Light. "

2008-07-11 17:46 +0000 [r8564]  robert:

	* From Joakim Simmonson, "Opcodes.h: * Added INVALID_OP as -1 in
	  the Opcodes enum. Note that INVALID_OP is not an actual opcode
	  defined in the OpenFlight format. The purpose of INVALID_OP is to
	  mark an opcode variable as invalid or uninitialized.
	  ReaderWriterFLT.cpp: * The header node is returned if it exists,
	  even if the file does not contain a node hierarchy. The old
	  behaviour returned a ERROR_IN_READING_FILE error. * Changed
	  opcodes initialized to -1 to the new enum value INVALID_OP."
