Oolite Bulletins

To coincide with the new release candidate for OS X, there's a new RC release for Linux, too.
See the 'Testing and Bug Reports' forum for Giles's changelist.

The files are in the usual places:

rsync://rsync.alioth.net/oolite/dev/Linux-x86
ftp://ftp.alioth.net/oolite
http://oolite-linux.berlios.de

So far I've done the basic "sniff test" and all seems to be well (I've also done extensive testing of nightlies leading up to this, and not run into any problems).

Is the 1.65 release ready for linux?

Winston, if I remember correctly, you said that dependencies will drop a lot, where can I get this info from?

According to the project page at berlios.de, the 1.65 final release is available... uploaded July 18th.

GNUstep GUI and Back are no longer needed, and a couple of unused SDL libraries have been dropped from the build. I don't have the info to hand, but if you browse the SVN history at berlios.de you should see it in the commit notes.

Indeed here are the real deps:
