First,
Nico, thank you for your work!
I have some comments on the releasing of Irrlicht, that could improve it:
* Under linux, my patch to the techdemo is missing. See http://bloodgate.com/perl/irrlicht/techdemo.html
* It would be probably a good idea to split the release into binary and source parts. Right now under Linux, I get the same 8Mb media files again, plus some windows binaries. Under Windows, likewise, you get the pre-compiled linux libs.
That would cut down the release size and people could download only the neccessary parts.
Possible parts:
* source code only, all OS
* media files, neccessary if you get the source and compile it yourself
* pre-compiled binaries for Linux (need media files, too)
* pre-compiled binaries for Windows (need media files, too)
Not everybody can download a 10Mb file easily :)
Oh, and a proper repository (CVS or subversion or whatever) would be nice, for tracking changes, sending patches in etc.
:-)
Best wishes,
Tels
PS: Yes, I need to update the techdemo page and also link it from the main page..standby while I finish my breakfast...

Re: Release v0.6 - some comments
Sorry for the missing bug fix.
Sure, that's right. But it is also a lot of work for me to create separeted packeages. It'S easier when everything is in one big archive. There is a new SDK only every ~2 months, so I think it would be ok to download 10 MB 6 times a year.Tels wrote:Not everybody can download a 10Mb file easily

No problem, next version :)niko wrote:Sorry for the missing bug fix.
You need a release manager. :-)niko wrote:Sure, that's right. But it is also a lot of work for me to create separeted packeages.Tels wrote:Not everybody can download a 10Mb file easily :)
That's right, too. But you have gone from 1.9 MB to 10 MB, so in 6 months it is probably 50 MB #:-)=niko wrote: It'S easier when everything is in one big archive. There is a new SDK only every ~2 months, so I think it would be ok to download 10 MB 6 times a year.
