Hello folks,<\/p>\n
It’s been a while since the last blog posting! I just wanted to wish everyone a merry christmas and happy holidays around the world.<\/p>\n
Things have been a bit quiet lately as I’ve had a couple things happening in real life that have demanded a great deal of attention; however there is another bug fix release coming along soon for WM 2.<\/p>\n
It should be a much easier upgrade than WM 2.1 has been, as the lack of file path changes means that it will be much harder to break anything.<\/p>\n
The main things being slated for the next minor release are:<\/p>\n
1) Bugfixes. Obviously! A number of discovered issues should be fixed — which ones I will post soon.<\/p>\n
2) Improved memory handling. I’ve been experimenting with a system to automatically page out (currently unneeded) heightfields to disk, allowing for worlds to be built much more effectively when RAM is an issue.<\/p>\n
3) Functionality improvements — other than the memory issues, there aren’t a ton currently slated.<\/p>\n
Between Christmas and the New Year I’m going to set down and plan out the course of WM 2 through the next year, so I should have more to share with you all regarding future developments then.<\/p>\n
Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
