Hello,
i was reading about many bugs in 1.4 , so now i am not sure
if i should move to 1.4 or wait until maybe a better release ...
Is there a 1.4.1 in planing or better wait for 1.5 ?
Thanx metamesh
irrlicht 1.3.1 more stable then1.4
I also think 1.4 isn't as stable (percent-wise) as 1.3.1 but there is always the SVN.
Oh and I really think 1.4.1 should get out soon for people who don't use the SVN which brings some important fixes IMHO..
I'd really like to hear what the developers has to say about it.
Oh and metamesh, yes, do the Upgrade to 1.4.
P.S
Move this thread to open discussion forum.

For any new project I would strongly recommend going with 1.4.
No version will ever be bugfree, but 1.4 is the one used for further development and so much hast changed that bugfixes for 1.4 are not easy to incooperate in 1.3 versions. Also it has so many nice features added and *a lot* of bugs are fixed from 1.3.1.
So unless the new features cause really serious trouble (and I didn't hear about that so far) I would expect that the new version will just rock 1.3.1 away.
And certainly newer versions are programmed all the time. Irrlicht does release often. But it's no splitted development where one stable version is just getting bugfixes and another the new features and seriously I don't think the team would be big enough to do that.

Watch out for the bug with IAnimatedMesh::getMesh() with the new skeletal meshes. getMesh() currently... doesn't.
Please upload candidate patches to the tracker.

Every new version which brings some new features will have bugs. Unless you want final version of Irrlicht come out one day (and I think nobody want), you should familiarize yourself with fact that there will be always some bugs around.
By the way, I strongly disagree with wish to have new version to be pulled out every now and then (as some people suggests). Its much better to have major redesigns to be pulled out over longer time than to have new version for every bug discovered (or improvement wished). That can only bring more confusion and more bugs. Give developers enough time to work and polish what they done.
I would be easily happy with new version coming out once per quarter to half of year.
To test and give feedback ...SVN is pretty satisfactory tool. Both for developers and users.

Although sometimes vX.X.1 (e.g 1.3.1) are unavoidable..

Well, the x.y.1 (or higher) are usually not delivering many new features, but only bug fixes. This is why I'm currently still supporting (and updating) the 1.4 branch next to the new 1.5 development version. If we have the chance to produce an interims version the 1.4.1 will bring enhanced stability instead of new features.
