Hi Jason, good to hear from you again, indeed.

Great, thank you.

Sound very good.

Sure, will do.

And glad you and your team are still with JOGL.

Yup, working on rc2 .. sweat sweat :)
After a bit more polishing and bug fixing I hope the stable version will be out soon.

In the meantime, I may point you to our new documention stuff:

You know .. the usual red tape stuff :)
Hope I don't scare too much people away with all this little requirements,
however, I think it's most important to realize reliable software
for all of us.

Laters & Cheers, Sven
