Where does it say April?  This is the last thing I read. Did I miss something??

Our release in March will be the 2.0 final release (the 'gold' release if that's what you want to call it).

These are just some of the improvements (more will be included in the final release):

Lots of bugs have been fixed. We're still bug fixing, however, and this process will continue after 2.0 for inclusion in further updates.

Some georeferencing capabilities, and automatic georeferencing for geotiffs that have as associated .tfw files. This works well with geotiff elevation data downloaded from http://seamless.usgs.gov/

Fixed some shader bugs. Improved quality of GI in clouds and atmospheres. Options to extend the region in which ray traced polygons are fully subdivided (affecting shadows and reflections).

Incremental saving for project files (adds a version number an increments it each time you save incremental). Some other saving options in Preferences.

The 3D Preview has quite a lot of new things. There's a compass to show heading, along with indicators to show where your sunlights are coming from. There's also a measuring tool for finding out the distance between points in the preview. Distance to camera is displayed in the 3D Preview Location window. You can now navigate/move the camera using the keyboard. Animated camera paths are shown in all previews which show the camera.

Some new features to copy and paste coordinates, altitude values and slope values from the 3D preview into parameters. Other copy and paste functionality for vector parameters (e.g. object positions) and drag-and-drop for colours into text files, or pasting into other applications.

There are now checks to stop circular paths being made in the node network. These could previously cause a crash.

Added some new button icons, tweaked some old ones.


These are just some of the improvements which are already finished. We'll provide a more complete list soon.

If you still haven't pre-purchased a TG2 Deep license at $199 US (or $299 with animation), you're running out of time to get it at today's pre-release prices. The prices will increase with the final release of 2.0. Looking ahead, we would like to release a "Standard Edition" of Terragen 2 at a lower price, but we haven't started on that yet and do not have a schedule for release.

What?  Did someone wake up?  Where am I?

Oh.  That.

I remember March, but I didn't forget it is Planetside and they'll get it right.  Here's to hope.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

Just to clarify that I was not talking down to any one, sorry if it seamed that way. We can have endless discussions like these and to me they serve no end other than to get people irritated over nothing, I'd understand more if this thread had appeared in a few weeks with a day or two before the end of the month and there had been no word, since its only the 11th today seems a bit strange that it appeared now; akin to putting the cart before the horse as it where.

As an adjunct I don't put double meanings or other junk in what I write I simply don't know how, nor is it proper or good manners to do so; it as straight forward and direct as you would find me in person, that is to say I don't suffer fools gladly, tolerance of failure of my self or others is dealt with quickly: also I bite my tongue here, I don't in the offline world. End of Line.

Thank you for you understanding in this matter.  ;D

Regards to you.

I can wait, especially since I just sent in my payment for deep edition. I feel more at ease asking questions as a product owner than a free user. but thats just me

As you probably know, Planetside works in "Valve Time". If they say the end of March you can be pretty sure it won't come till april. But I very much agree with CA here. Why create this topic at the beginning of the month?

I have to wait another week before my money for TG2 even becomes available - if I miss it by a couple of days I'll be kicking myself like there's no tomorrow  :o

...not that that was off-topic or anything. Oh, by the way, thanks buzzzzz1, I'd heard something about the 'Gold' release but hadn't found the thread.

Well that's the thing. There is no Planetside thread from Matt, it was just casually thrown in somewhere in a topic about an xfrog release.
