So ..it's true.
In a day Cdraw will touch the Linux kernel. l imagine the benefit of all major Linux apps. ( OpenOffice, Gnumeric, Gimp, ..etc ). using the same vector core.
Great ( and long awaited ) news.

Where did you get that from? Charles Moir has said this:Originally Posted by SorinN
Says adapting to Linux, not adapting Linux kernel to CDraw.Originally Posted by Charles Moir
If I have missed a post that says changes to the Linux kernel are required, then, please, forgive me my ignorance and post a link to it
We don't need the rendering engine anywhere near the Linux kernel. It's currently a library anyone can use (in binary format). The plan is merely that the source is released. I very much doubt anyone will want it in the kernel (no other graphics engine is in the kernel and you don't lose anything by having it in userspace - see X, gtk etc etc.), but as the plan is to GPL it, it would be license compatible. However, we do hope it will make standard distributions.Originally Posted by Slapo

And one thing I would still like to know is: why can't you release CDraw now?
Because they are bussy right now, as they tould manny times on forums.
To release CDraw libraries is not just to put them on the net, also this work mean to write a lot of technical documentation / HowTo's / specifications for other developers. That is the professional way.
Also as in all software companies - here is a roadmap too, with punctual obectives / priorities. Will be a time for CDraw.
I am interested too, but I have patience and I dont like to stress peoples.
