{{FGCquote | |||
|Due to the outage at SourceForge, the creation of the release branches<br/> | |||
has to be postponed until our repositories are back online.<br/> | |||
I don't have any information beyond the official note from [https://twitter.com/sfnet_ops sfnet_ops]<br/> | |||
and can just sit and wait as anybody else while the operators push in<br/> | |||
the wheelbarrows with backup tapes.<br/> | |||
We have dismissed the idea of preparing the release branches and re-<br/> | |||
lease candidates offline because of the many manual steps required.<br/> | |||
Instead we will shorten the release-candidate period and still plan<br/> | |||
for a release around Aug. 17th. | |||

=== DHC-6 Twin Otter update === | |||
Thanks to lanbo64 and dg-505, the Twin Otter has been updated with the most recent ALS interior effects. It now contains interior shadows, glass reflections, a flashlight, rain effect, frost patterns and fog on windows, and a realistic window heating system to solve the problem with frost and fog on the windows. Download the updated version from [https://github.com/bolan/dhc6 GitHub]. | |||
