=== YaSim versioning === | |||
{{Conversational}} | |||
<pre>Hi all, | |||
as promised, I have just added a versioning scheme to yasim | |||
configuration files. | |||
The <airplane> element of the yasim config file now understands the | |||
"version" attribute that can be currently one of these values: | |||
YASIM_VERSION_ORIGINAL | |||
The original version of YASim as implemented up to FlightGear 3.0.0 | |||
(this is the default) | |||
YASIM_VERSION_32 | |||
The version of YASim currently implemented in FlightGear 3.1 (current | |||
git HEAD) | |||
YASIM_VERSION_CURRENT | |||
The current and latest version of YASim (which is currently the same as | |||
YASIM_VERSION_32) | |||
Example: | |||
<airplane mass="1344" version="YASIM_VERSION_32"> | |||
A missing "version" attribute will cause yasim to use the original | |||
(buggy) implementation without the latest patches. This should restore | |||
the original behavior to all yasim aircraft. Aircraft that were adapted | |||
to the new version of yasim (with the latest patches from Colin Douglas | |||
Howell) should set version=" YASIM_VERSION_32" to re-enable those changes. | |||
The idea is to add a new YASIM_VERSION_xx with every release cycle where | |||
xx is the next to-be-released version number (32 for 3.2 for the current | |||
cycle and 34 for the next cycle etc). | |||
I hope this is somewhat useful and works as described. | |||
Please test some yasim aircraft and provide feedback. | |||
Greetings, | |||
Torsten | |||
