ImpDev Meetups/2009-12-01

Summary
ImpDev Meetup for December 01, 2009.


 * Armin did well on his exam! Congratulations!
 * Armin is compiling 64-bit Linux versions of Imprudence and libraries.
 * Jacek will make an FTP account so Armin can upload them.

Regarding 1.2:
 * The 1.2 release had some hiccups at first, but 1.2.1 is going okay, except on Vista and Windows 7.
 * McCabe is having trouble compiling openal-soft for Vista/Win7.

Regarding 1.3:
 * Jacek's "next" git branch is the current branch for 1.3 dev. All new development should be based on that branch.
 * Please make separate "topic branches" for each feature or major change, so Jacek can easily merge them into her branch when the time is right.
 * 1.3 compiles on Linux and Mac, but has issues with the fonts. Linux uses the wrong font, Mac uses the correct font but renders it in an ugly way.
 * k\o\w has successfully compiled 1.3 on Windows, but McCabe can't get it to compile for him.
 * Artwork for 1.3 is now in an artwork package installed automatically like the libraries are.
 * Jacek is also going to make a git repository specifically for managing the artwork.
 * Jacek will focus on fixing up 1.3 and getting existing things to work right. Other developers can start working on new features and porting features from other viewers.

Regarding Meerkat:
 * k\o\w (Patrick Sapinski) of the Meerkat viewer is rebasing Meerkat to the Imprudence code base. This will make it easier to share features and code between the two viewers.
 * His git repository

Regarding Emerald features:
 * We'll use the client identification from Emerald. But, we must remove the labelling of users of a certain viewer as "Fags".
 * We will host our own list of clients, so that we aren't at the mercy of the operators of modularsystems.sl.
 * McCabe has uploaded an Imprudence logo texture which can be used for identifying Imprudence. UUID: cc7a030f-282f-c165-44d2-b5ee572e72bf
