|
|
Now we have reached the beta phase (0.9.x) of OpenScenegGraph project,
|
2004-08-17 15:43:30 +08:00
|
|
|
and are now working towards the full 1.0 release, with a likely release
|
|
|
|
|
date in second half of 2004.
|

|
<li>
|
|
|

<li>Introduce a new library osgEnvironment, which adds support for
|
|
