I'm a little puzzled about a slight difference between the newsletter content and the Changelog:

The January newsletter says:

"The texturing procedure is easily configurable via materials.xml and combined with regional texturing allows for a much improved experience for low-level flights or helicopter trips away from airfields. Note that this feature will not be available for the 2.10 release, as it requires still some testing."

The 2.10 Changelog says:

"High resolution close-up texturing effects with up to 10 cm detail resolution and dynamically added bumpmap for low-level flight and better depth perception."

What's correct? I know I can just download and test this but in case it doesn't work on my computer I'd like to know if it's really supposed to work so I can file a bug, if needed.
