I admit I might have some confusion regarding what is being developed, under what name, etc...but I guess my confusion is only due to my zero-knowledge of GitHub.
Excuse me in advance.
To get it straight off the way, of course the official current one is Orbiter2016.
As Martin said (answering me) in the somewhat historic announcement "Orbiter is now open source" thread, the development on the SVN platform stopped at whatever OrbiterBeta revision it was at that time (r90ish), then it moved over to GitHub:
www.orbiter-forum.com
So it looks like this GitHub version is still the "beta version" of the new OpenOrbiter that will eventually be released as OpenOrbiter_insert_release_year_here.
Meanwhile we can download the latest bleeding edge beta (with already integrated D3D9 and XRSound) from
github.com
clicking on Assets, as Martin wrote few days ago in the D3D9 thread. Did I get it clear?
(Launchpad window's title itself reads "OpenOrbiter Launchpad").
But this other page puts me a bit off, because it carries the "official" OpenOrbiter name:
github.com
Can you please help me clarify?
Thanks fellow Orbiteers.
