> - Upload a very first release candidate as soon as possible

> How can you help me?
> The 2 Giuseppe, gohai and some others suggested a lot of fixes, don't hesitate
> to make some suggestions too. It would be fine if some people could help me to

> to remind me the patches we put into it, I remember at least one bug under OS
> X has a working patch in its bug report.

> If you want to give it a try, you can start by cloning my repository for Gluegen:
> git clone --recurse-submodules
> https://gouessej@.../p/gluegen/code gluegen
>
> Of course, your help and your encouragements are very welcome.
>
> By the way, JOGL rocks and it's up to us to make sure it will rock in 2019 :)

> N.B: I'm not Santa Claus. Don't expect me to make a new Java binding for the
> Vulkan API or to host a brand new forum. *Please concentrate on fixing the bugs*.
