Still working on getting it ready. Let me know if I'm missing anything. Also, please use SVN head as that is basically the release candidate!

Some notable things that are already done in SVN:

• Optional XInput Support for Windows (enabling this will require you distribute the xinput redistributable!)
• Some Linux Keyboard/Mouse fixes
• Many minor bug fixes

Required tasks remaining:

• Ensure project files are all good: mostly Code::Blocks projects and VC8 project files need to be patched/tested

Hoping to include:

• Native Win32 Mouse/Keyboard support - no DirectInput
• Support for Space Navigator / Multiaxis HID devices

Space Navigator!!!! It's the only thing keeping my code from being truly cross platform! Absolutely looking forward to that!

[kornerr]

Will it be easily compilable with MinGW? I mean Makefile.mingw or CMake?

[pjcast]

There is really no reason to support mingw on Windows. There is a great VC++ Express that is both free and works great for windows.

[kornerr]

There is. Some people (me) want as cross-platform code as possible. And using GCC allows that better.

[kornerr]

In fact, there's a CMake file in OgreDependencies that builds both for Linux and MinGW. Can you make CMake officially supported?

[kornerr]

Also, when I tried to run my application under Linux with OIS-1.3 I found out my keys stop working after about 27 seconds. I'll try to find out what's wrong, because no such problem is present with OIS-1.2.

[kornerr]

I've tested a simple ogre application.
In Fluxbox input is killed by window minimizing.
In XFCE input is killed by Alt-Tab from window and exactly 30 seconds after the start.
In GNOME/KDE no misbehaviour detected.
So something is wrong with Alt-Tab and/or minimizing for OIS-1.3.

[pjcast]

I haven't tried using those other window managers, a patch would be welcome. Gnome/Kde users have reported no such issues... All OIS does for an alt-tab in Linux is detect it, and ungrab input (mouse/keyboard). When the window is clicked on again, it will detect that and re-capture the mouse / keyboard. I suspect some x11 message is being garbled by those other window managers that do not let OIS know it is time to recapture input.

[pjcast]

I've branched the head revision to branches/v1-3. All updates to this release will go there, and new development will go to trunk. It's not looking like I will have time to incorporate space mouse/or other new features into this release. I really just want to get something out there that is stable. After some more testing this week, and looking at some remaining patches, I will release a RC version this week.

[kornerr]

The fact is that OIS-1.2 did pretty weill with Fluxbox/XFCE before, so smth *has* been changed here. I'll try to find anything, but I'm not the one who changed things and knows internals
