Hi all,

As Yade 0.50 has been released, some of you might want to port some old 
code to this version.
Considering that everybody will have to make more or less the same 
changes in their code, it would be intersting to know how many of you 
have this in mind. If the number is high, we can perhaps summarize the 
changes and point to the previous messages where Vaclav already 
explained how to update existing code.
If you are in this case, could you please say hello in reply to this email?

If you always used yade 0.2 or another old version, porting to 0.5 is 
also a good opportunity to go further and link your developments with 
"live" yade developments by updating(*) to the current trunk version and 
commiting your code. Doing so, it will be a lot easier for you to keep 
your code functional in the evolutionary Yade plateform, and a lot 
easier for us to help solving problems. That way, you will also 
contribute to the development of Yade itself.

Good luck!

Bruno

(*) You will probably not notice any difference for now between 0.5 and 
latest bazar versions since "0.5" is a snapshot of bazar version at a 
given time (revision number 2281). The only potential problems might 
come if you used high level wm3 function, as wm3 is supported in 0.5 but 
not in later versions. As an alternative for computational geometry, you 
can link your plugin to the CGAL library (http://www.cgal.org/), already 
used in Yade.
