2.6

Summary:

* I need to do a full self-review to make sure merging hasn't mangled anything.

* Swiss-cheese's game engine is in a weird state due to differences

from trunk I'm not familiar with.

* I'm going to start submitting patches from Swiss-cheese to make

maintenance easier.

* I have a system in place to test and track the thousands of changes

in drawing code

* Documentation at this point might be good enough for reviewers but

not for the community.

* I estimate I have 40-50 hours of work to do before review, but I

cannot do it all at once.

* Aiming to start review immediately next year.

Plan:

1st week: Self code review and create any patches that can be applied now

2nd-3rd week: Achieve full code coverage. Automate if possible.

Visually compare w/ trunk

4th week: Holiday

5th week: Profile and track down any performance problems. Improve

documentation.

currently thinking i should merge hair and volumetrics patches soon, and put them under experimental, so authors can work on them in svn
