anyone know when the new SDK release?
i means panda3D 1.7.1
because there had been some manual in manual page…
As with almost every open source project (sans ubuntu and gnome an some others): “When it is ready.”
I look forward to it too, but as I don’t contribute anything to the engine I have no room to complain 
In the meantime you can use the buildbot if you needs an upcoming feature or bugfix.
That worked before but now we have the runtime plugin stuff we want updated.
Which is also in the build bot.
Eh, the plugin itself still uses 1.7.1 to run the game. We’ve been discussing a CVS-head runtime distribution, which may be done sooner or later.
