And everybody sending me cheerings, congratulations, and very nice messages from all over the world... i'm the first one surprised at OCCT's success. It's thanks to you that i'm still working on it !

and finally Simon Castaing for reading this file the very first day 1.1.1 was released, which really did surprise me alot.



Comments:

3.0.0 is out. Again, i'd say "Finally". 25 betas afterwards. And not counting the betas for individual tests. It took me a year (yes, a year).

Not full time, mind you, but a year nonetheless. I had to learn 3d programming, CUDA programming, ran into countless bug, and even into a core bug in the CUDA SDK... which is now fixed in the 2.1 release. I'd really say OCCT 3.0 is the most major version since the release of v0... it beats the release of Perestroika 1.0 IMHO. But that's just me. You don't see it, but almost everything has been revamped (yes, again, and i guess it will be, again. I wonder how comes  i still finds that "funny" :D ).

I'd like to thank everybody who helped me on this project, and they're countless. Virtually countless. Thanks for your cheers, and stay tuned for more updates !



Final notes:

You may encounter my weird error message "Save a programmer, kill a user". NO, this is NOT racism. Sarcasm, irony, all that apply. Dedicated to the guy who did win the Godwin point in one mail(!) because of that ;) I seriously had a good laugh reading you ;) Starting from 1.1.1a, this message isn't in OCCT anymore.

OCCT's "Communist" theme is for fun. I didn't do that for politics, just for the spirit. OCCT sounds like CCCP in french, that's the only reason why...
