Work is well underway for a new (yet again) build system. The current implementation can be found in the ./Scripts_V2 directory and I'm currently testing it on the Mac build, once this is done it will be back onto Linux for further tweaking.

Main intention of the new build system is to allow each module to be downloaded, compiled, wrapper code generated and Python module built, all from a single python script, with decent error logging so I can better help with remote support.

Look for a new set of binaries over the Christmas week...

The year is nearly over and there is still sooo much to do :)

I'm glad to say that the Linux build was only broken for a day or 2 and is working well again. We have discovered a couple of new issues relating to 64bit machines and systems with gcc4.2 installed that needs to be handled better, however nothing fundemental, more a case of tweaking the scripts.

A new module has made it's way to the SVN - ParticleUniverse support which while still in the early stages of development (version 0.4) looks like a very powerful particle system.

Weekend plans include releasing a new snapshot for both Windows and Linux -- and while the Linux binary might not have 'every' module included it will have a new directory layout (and everything is linked with the 'ORIGIN' option) which means no more screwing with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- it should work in a completely self contained fashion.

On another note my Mac Mini is installed and running so hopefully there will be a Mac binary in the 1.2 release - which is scheduled to happen within the next 2-3 weeks
