btw, is there a possibility to check, whether page locking has been enabled by an application ?
hm ... good question ... the only way i know is the return value of mlockall...
definitely (and sadly) true. it seems, that you and thomas g. are the only ones.
well, maybe two or three more people ;-) the problem is, that a difference in the api might result difficulties for external developers ... some of my externals will only work with devel, since they are using the fifo, idle-callback or simd/runtime dispatching api... also thomas's flext uses the timestap for garray graphic updates and the idle callbacks (well, at least flext always compiles against stable)
i even think that providing precompiled releases of devel_ from time to time would improve the user feedback ...
depends; i tend to think that devel is meant for2 devel'opers. (but probably, stable is meant for horses)
yes and no ... devel_ is usually usable. there are only short times every once in a while, that it won't compile or run. unlike development branches of other projects devel_ is supposed to be usable ... of course this isn't possible ... this is why i think that both tagging "stable" versions of devel_ (something i haven't done, yet) and providing binaries definitely makes sense...
good night ... tim
