Deprecated Files

[David Walters]

Hi, there are three deprecated source files in the ODE/src folder. I
was wondering if we could actually delete them from future revisions
(or as a compromise, move them to contrib)

The files are:

"ode/src/scrapbook.cpp"

In here are some old colliders like capsule/capsule, ray/box and
capsule/box (which is explicitly documented as not working).

and "ode/src/stack.{cpp,h}"

Which appears to be intended as a stack allocator, but since I've been
following this project for at least a couple of years now I've never
heard it mentioned!


So, this is just a housekeeping request really - it will help with
people making their own project files by dragging in all files from a
folder. Seems like a good idea to only keep code that's actually used
by ODE in the official source releases - which makes the project look
(incrementally) more professional :-)


Regards,
David

ps. I'm wondering if we should start gearing up for a new release
soon? - there have been a few nice new features added lately that have
polished things up nicely.

pps. Pre-emptively casting my vote for calling it 1.0, not 0.10.0 ;-)

I agree with all this.

The two files are not part of our CVS repositories here at the job.

It also look more professional when you have a version 1.0.0 !!
