as you may know, the binaries available on Maratis website are out of date and the only way for users to get the latest version is to compile Maratis themselves. The current svn trunk code is stable and provides a lot of bug fixes, it's time to release new binaries !
This is an official call for help, we need contributors to maintain the 3 major system builds.
You will have in charge the maintenance of the SVN trunk build system and the building of the official releases for your platform.
- We need a Windows build maintainer for 32 and 64bits
- And a Linux build maintainer for 32 and 64bits
- I will maintain OSX and iOS-simulator builds, but a iOS-device tester is welcome (I don't have access to iOS devices)
Lets provide together regular releases for the community !
How to build : http://wiki.maratis3d.org/index.php?tit … ng_Maratis
SUMMARY : building and testing
- Linux 32 : ishands : link
- Linux 64 : bryce : link
- Windows 32 : Akira_san : link Vegas : link
- Windows 64 : ulbex proposed his help
- Max OSX 32/64 and iOS : Anaël : link
please test and give feedbacks !

Thanks for the bug reports in 3.1, lets start a second wave !
Cheers,

there is now a wiki for the documentation : wiki.maratis3d.org
We started writing engine and script informations and list all previous tutorials.
There is just a small problem, despite all the anti-spam features installed there is already a lot of spam
so I had to disable public account creation, you have to send me a mail if you want one account and I will activate it : )
Thank you for your help.
Anaël.
