[Opensim-dev] Current Status of OpenSim Git Master

[Melanie]

Hi,

Github is NOT the opensim master. The opensim master is on
opensimulator.org. We are not responsible for github or what it does.

Your link is to viewgit, which is indeed ours but even so, it's a
3rd party program and we can't say if and why it misbehaves.

Avination, which is the origin of the new code, has never bothered
to remove warnings so our warnings are now in master. Maybe we'll do
another Warning Safari.

Regarding physics, BulletSim does not fill all users' needs. Some
still need an ODE implementation. ODE has many issues and
incompatibilities. ubODE fixes a lot of them, and allows vehicles
with parameters tuned for Buletsim/SL to work with an ODE
implementation. It also has numerous other advantages.
