! 
! 0.8alpha3: Crucial demos for continued funding [ABSOLUTE Deadline: 4.10, 
10:00]
! ( unlike the other releases, the things here are in priority order )
      tuukkah:
!       - release engineering [ again, no announcement yet, let's announce at 
alpha4]
            - list main changes 
                - cvs diff... concentrating on major APIs
                  and major functionality.
            - check that things generally work 
                - suggest a list of things that should be
                  tested when releasing.
! 
      mudyc:
        - make a trivial texcomb_GL11.py (using OpenGL 1.1 
          functionality) in gfx/libpaper
          which allows papers to work without register combiners.
            - both texenv() and blending need to be set there.
!     benja:
!       [ All done. Text now works in cvs, EXCEPT for a strange BUG:
!           when shown as a buoy, the text inside the box is rotated w.r.t.
!           the box. Seems to me this is a bug in the coordinate stuff,
!           because nothing in the view hierarchy called there uses any
!           of GL's specific coordset types, just the vanilla OrthoCoorder
!           one, so if a child cs is rotated w.r.t. a parent cs, something
!           is wrong. -- Note also that I've changed xubuoy so that
!           the view-specific bindings are disabled when in a client mode
!           other than Fallback.NORMAL-- so that text input works. HOWEVER:
!           when typing a few words of text in a cell, my client crashes;
!           I've successfully used extedit to avoid this at one point today
!           (to use extedit, remember to set the EDITOR environment variable).
!           --
!           Hope all goes well with the demo! -b. 
!           --
!           P.S. AAARGH-- just noted again the saving bug from earlier today ->
!           after creating a span, I couldn't save and after Ctrl-C not reload.
!           I can't really fix this today, ARGH! If you encounter this, you'll 
!           need to work around it somehow. Remember to back up your 
!           saved spaces :( 
!           --
!           I've tried to misfix, so let's hope you won't see it. -b. ]
!     tuukkah:
!       - when a gl window is closed, call Binder.windowClosed()
!       - unit tests for libcoords:
!           - a general test that transform() and performGL() do the same thing
!       - xupdf
!           - review code, suggest cleanups and improvements
!     tjl:
!       - xupdf: distorted multi-page PDF view with xu links
!           - adjustable zoom / distortion area by mouse
!           - better graphics for xu links
!           - proper buoy placement
!           - larger structure 
!               - faster loading of pagespan images
!                   - use lower resolution first, lazily load better
!                       - deetsay's imagecache code?
!           - frame rate ~= 25
!               - fix nonlinearity's effect: too much dicing now.
!                   - shouldn't dice the ones rendered flatly
!                     at all !!!
!               - paperquad texture binding LOD?
!                   - only when certain that texture memory
!                     bandwidth is the problem.
!                       - with CulledPQ, should not be.
!             - reload button  (key to reload jython code!)
!           - multiple instances of same cell visible as a buoy --> keys?
!               - special matcher? or pp/VobKeyer?
!               - really USE hierarchical keys
!       + script the demo, determine in detail all features
!         required. [ almost done ]
!           - making a connection
!               - more than one window
!     anybody:
!       - if there are problems with performance, edit libcoords to use
!         boost::object_pool for making allocations much faster
!       + make gldemo able to use fullscreen sync_to_vblank mode so that we 
could
!         get the benefits of page flipping. How does this interact with e.g.
!         twinview? Need to turn it off?
!       + fix fillet demo last two screens
!       + make GLVobCoorder's all coordsys types
!         work like affineCoordsys and setAffineParams, so
!         that we can set the params from outside easier.
! 
! 0.8alpha4: Cleanup release after crucial demos; make it possible for anyone to
!           get *THE* demo up and running
!     vegai:
!       - make papermill (libpaper)
!         into real python modules so
!         that we don't have to do silly "execfile" tricks in
!         papertest.py and others.
!         Also avoids name clashes
!     humppake:
!       - fix utf8 string non-null end bug found by Benja
!       - make paperquad check whether vertex programs are available
!         and use them if possible, otherwise use the above calls.
          Vertex programs and packed vertices can be MUCH more efficient,
          especially on GF3/4Ti. Of course, the check needs to be done
          in JAVA code, and the result passed as a parameter to
          createPaperQuad, since that's the most flexible approach.
!       - clean up Paper VP interface [jvk will explain]
              - implement TexGenEmboss::setUp_explicit
            - vertex_explicit() routine to work also without
              paper position.
            - rename the vertex_* routines that don't take
              physical coordinates into texcoords_*.
      deetsay:
        - UML and APIs of ImageCache
        - implementation of ImageCache
-     tuukkah:
-       - move Modules/ to basalt (what about Java/ and C++/) (Tjl: remove them)
-       - genimages lazily: pass existing images. Must check that the
-         file is not zero-length though. [ done? ]
-       - clean, rename and document Makefile targets (coordinate with mudyc:
-         do we want to use something else instead of make?)
      jvk, tjl:
        + If performance drags,
          think about using render-to-texture to speed up papers.
