Take it easy out there and save often.

Most issues from test release is fixed so send me new ones in bug thread.

(Quit from Launcher and Application window hidding problem)

I tried v2.1
The feature layouting for window is intuitive to me.
I was able to configure a wanted layout

Wings has become better than before.
If I noticed something else,then also would going to report.
Cheers!

I've successfully built version 2.1 on 32-bit Debian 8 with Erlang 18.1 and wxwidgets-3.0.2 dev libs.
However, Wings fails to start (even with preferences.txt deleted):

As I know, the last version was build with the latest Erlang 19.1.3

Yeah 18.1 is a year old :-)
Seriously 18.3 should still work, but I'm constantly fixing things in the erlang when I find stuff
that I need or don't work when developing wings.
More fixes comes in erlang-19.2 as well.

So updating the erlang lib often is good for Wings, wxWidgets-3.0.2 should be fine though.
and isn't that hard either since you have all the packages already installed.

See https://github.com/kerl/kerl for helping building erlang not something I use but many erlang devs use it.

OK, I'll try the latest one. But the readme should be updated.

Everything's working fine here so far with Erlang 19.1, including window docking.

Has all the bugs already been fixed? Or I should wait a little more, before upgrading?

There will always be new bugs. :-)

Indeed..

When will the next update be out?
