[osg-users] Please test OpenSceneGraph master in prep for 3.5.6 dev release

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Glenn,

I have just had a look at osgEarth's implementation of the
TextureBuffer serializer and it's different from the core OSG one, the
later is a more complete implementation.

For backwards compatibility of older .osgb/.osgx/.osgt files generated
by osgEarth applications that leverage the osgEarth's TexutreBuffer
serializer we'd have a potential conflict.  Perhaps one way to resolve
this would be to version OSG's new TextureBuffer so that for older
versions the osgEarth style implementation is used, while on recent
versions the latest is used.

How many files/osgEarth users do you think might be affected by this issue?

Robert
