The current client is at the moment a bit under construction, yes, we know that there is bugs, and we're fixing them, there's always bugs in any code, whether it is clean code or not, until they get fixed, and as we are not a commercial project or anything, we have no any need to give "warranty" that the code works and _pre_ releases are meant only for those, that want to see _something_ on their screen, at least for a second or two. :) Besides, we have rewritten the current code from quite scratch already once and if you look at the Majik's history, there isn't anything else than just recoding! Don't say we would want to do a complete rewrite once again - we just fix the bugs for the 0.4.0 release which is meant to be solid base for future development, with a clean design and with no bugs hanging around and every basic thing such as landscape, sky etc. working perfectly, so that we can concentrate on doing something else. After 5 years of experience in this project and after 5 full rewrites of the code and concept, we have a certain feeling that we know what we are doing. -- Tommi Leino / Majik 3D project namhas@majik3d.org https://majik3d-legacy.org
