job000209, by the way.  Fixed, but probably not in beta 10.

Tracking these was a bit of a nightmare because some of them arrived on
my newserver with completely different subject lines and subtly
different message ids. I can search my article database by either of
those fields, or by author (but you wrote so many!).

Original Subject: crash during function creation in loop

Isn't this already reported in the thread that Thorsten referred you to?

OK

I got totally confused by this thread, and can't seem to see if anything
ever actually got confirmed, and if so, what.

>Wrong highlighting in editor (function_id)

Unconfirmed

>Splines - not working legal statement

Original Subject: splines - documentation and reality

I'm not logging documentation errors. If there's anything there that's
not a documentation error, then I believe it's unconfirmed.

BTW, I've read that the "good" camera will function only with
"#version 3.5" set. Is that true ?

Fabien.

It's supposed to be.  Guess I should implement that part. :)

  If the default value of 'version' is '3.5', then you don't have to
explicitly write that.
  It just means that if you write "#version 3.1" or smaller it won't work.

Why should a correct behaviour only appear with a given version ?
Why keep compatibility with a bug ?

I mean, I don't see any situation where the buggy behaviour
could be wanted... especially since it's very subtle. But maybe
others do ?

Fabien.

I think Thorsten probably has some input on this, so I'll defer to him,
but I think the issue was that we thought some people might have already 
worked around the error in scenes where it was important.  Of course, any
such workaround would be resolution-dependent, but it's likely that if you
needed subpixel accuracy your results were already resolution-dependent.

In any event, our fixing the camera would break any such workarounds, and
those workarounds might no longer be in a form their creator would now
understand. :)

  On the other hand, why would you want to use a #version older than 3.5
for the camera?

  I think that the idea is that if you have an old scene, it won't break in
any way if you write #version 3.1 at the beginning.
