[Papervision3D] is there a date set for the update of the source to rc2?

[Rob Bateman]

no problem ralph - i completely understand how complex this must be and how
we want everything to be done 'right'.

there may be enhancements that i can contribute to PV3D in the timeline of
this project, and i'll definitely keep you posted on the progress we make!

cheers

Rob
