...yep, I'll be working on that, but likely not until next  
tuesday...sorry I let this go, but I'm just too used to working in a  
gui IDE...and I'm way overdue on updating the xcode project files...

...sounds good to me...here's what I'm working on for a release:

- helpfiles for glsl_*, and making sure the others are current
- making [rubber] infinitely more interesting (almost done!)
- remove the osx checks for valid gl contexts, since we now have a  
"masterContext" created on startup
- I'd really like to finish alitivec'ing yuv to rgb/a and rgb/a to yuv
- make [pix_multitexture] a bit more usable
- [env $1< to [pix_texture] also takes symbol names (ie. blend,  
modulate, etc.)
- compare speeds of CACHED vs. SHARED texture hints, particularly  
with regard to gpu shader interaction (CACHED is supposed to remove a  
copy to VRAM which speeds up texture lookups in shaders, but does it  
have any slowdown otherwise?)

...and then there are the bugs, or things that don't work as they  
should, like the recent stencil buffer stuff...
