Oolite Bulletins

I haven't submitted any pull requests back to the main repo yet. I have libpng done (incorporated directly into the repo, with all source files in deps/Cocoa-deps/libpng) in my local repo, and I'll do Sparkle next. Then clean things up, and submit a pull request to the 1.90-mac-build-bugfix branch. The libpng changes seem to be working fine from what I see with minimal testing.

There's really nothing to download or try yet, this is all just organizational and build-related at this point, and resurrecting the mac build, starting with 1.90.

I haven't yet made the oolite.org -> oolite.space transition yet either.

Once there is something different to run and try out, I'll put something up somewhere and post a message.

OK I've submitted a pull request for the v1.90 mac build bugfixes and changes we discussed.

No update of the OXP download site yet, this is just the build. Assuming the PR goes well and functions properly, then I'll make that change next.

I'm not a Mac user but curious:
Do you think it is possible to make Oolite compile on current hardware?

Which combination of OOlite version, macos version, and hardware version are you interested in?

I would like to see this matrix filled out. For now I'm just trying to understand what builds and runs on systems available to me, and so started with getting 1.90 to build and run on 10.14.6, and pursue some bug fixes of longstanding annoying issues (sound cutting out!)

For latest oolite versions with the new renderer that require OpenGL 3.3, this seems to be a potential blocker. But we'll see. One version at a time for now .

Another bit of good news -- my build-fixed 1.90 also runs on my late 2009 mac mini running mac os 10.8.5, so it does indeed work on older systems.
And when I mean work, I mean I loaded up an old save file, launched, and flew around for a few minutes.
