[osg-users] OpenSceneGraph-3.4.0-rc12 tagged

[Robert Osfield]

Hi All,

I have just tagged rc12.  Had intended to make the release, but with
testing comes problem reports... which do eventually get resolved and then
fixes checked in...

Today I been working hard to today to come up with viable workaround for
the NVIdia volume rendering/loop variable bug and the best solution I have
come up with has been to extend the #pragma(tic) shader composition support
to assign the GL_VENDOR string to a #define, then have the shaders check
for this and decide what to do in the shader depending upon the vendor
string.  I'm guessing this will be useful beyond this particular GLSL
workaround for osgVolume.  The workaround in the shader looks like:

#version 110

##pragma import_defines(NVIDIA_Corporation)

#if defined(NVIDIA_Corporation)
    // workaround a NVidia hang when the loop variable is a float, but
works fine when it's an int
    #define loop_type int
#else
    #define loop_type float
#endif

Note to map the GL_VENDOR string of "NVIDIA Corporation" to a #define I
have had to replace spaces with _.

Also fixed today was include/osg/Types handling under VS.

Aside from the above my main dev main decided to start hanging soon after
booting.  I have wasted lots of hours trying to get to the bottom of the
problem, and most likely candidate is a disk failure.  Perhaps the lighting
storm we had today fried it... So today has been a bit of nightmare...

Anyway, please test :-)

My plan is now to go for 3.4.0 release on Wednesday.  Tomorrow I'll be
writing up new features/writing + recording presentations.
