[osg-users] Which version of the Collada DOM does OSG use?

[steven_thomas at playstation.sony.com]

"Which version of the OSG are you interested in?"

I'm interested in whatever versions are going to be affected by changes 
I make to the development version of the Collada DOM. What I'm concerned 
about is that I'll make a breaking change in the DOM and then the 
Collada plugin for OSG will no longer compile. If OSG's Collada plugin 
were synced to a specific version of the DOM then it'll be shielded from 
changes in the latest development version of the DOM.

In the next month or so I'll be releasing a DOM 2.0, and then changes 
are basically going to stop, except to include support for new versions 
of the Collada schema as they're released (the schema is currently at 
1.4.1 with 1.5 expected this year). I guess for now the OSG plugin 
should continue to use the latest development version of the DOM, then 
switch to DOM 2.0 once it's released. Then people who build the OSG 
Collada plugin should be instructed to use DOM 2.0 and *not* the latest 
development version.

In the meantime I'll see about getting OSG's Collada plugin building 
with the latest version of the DOM on all platforms again.
