the new KAP140 would also be listed, right? i guess after it is fully applied... and the fix for the craft being unable to move without toggling the damage property? something to do with tutorial usage...

legoboyvdlp commented 3 years ago

Yes, but clustered shading is the only thing that will be merged in the next few days. Anything else before today is already on 2020.3 or else on a branch. :)

wkitty42 commented 3 years ago

ahhhh, yes... i got a little mixed up i think...

@wlbragg @wkitty42 @Megaf anyone got anything else?

wlbragg commented 3 years ago

Let me go through this list and what I know and see if I have anything to add.

wlbragg commented 3 years ago

@legoboyvdlp You pretty much nailed the new stuff as far as the list goes. Reading the list doesn't do the amount of upgrading, refactoring and new features justice though. But it is what it is. There were so many subtle changes in so many areas, like I said, the list doesn't do it justice. The FG1000 variant was so multifaceted, I guess that is why the list seems anticlimactic.

I added a couple fixes and reworded the fg1000 verbiage to better describe the depth of the FG1000 addition.

I'm done with it. Thanks you so much for all your help getting this release tagged.

wkitty42 commented 3 years ago

AFAICT the list of updates/fixes seems to be ok...

legoboyvdlp commented 3 years ago

I hope I did everything right ... please confirm, should be a tag + release for version 2020.4, a branch for 2020.4 and now master is on 2020.5 ....

wlbragg commented 3 years ago

Yeah, looks good to me. I am really happy we have the start of an 172sp in the base. Thanks again for all your help.
