<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Torcs-NG is a fork of <a href="http://www.torcs.org">The famous Open
Racing Car Simulator "Torcs"</a>, but it does not any pretend
to replace it. It's main goal is simply to host <span style="font-weight: bold;">experimental</span>
developpements inside Torcs, while trying to follow as closely as
possible its release and evolution stream ...</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">In other words,
Torcs-NG is the place :</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">where developpers can
try their ideas and have efery chance to get them released to the
end-users (<span style="font-weight: bold;">democracy</span>
is the main principle ruling the dev team),</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">where end-users can
enjoy the completion of these ideas and give their opinion about it,
and/or make new suggestions.</p>

release process</big></big></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Torcs-NG will generally
follow Torcs
release stream : a new release, with the same identifier (ex: 1.3.1),
will normally be published in the weeks after each Torcs release. It
will contain the whole Torcs release, plus the whole bunch of adds we
maintain. But
other intermediate releases could also be published if improvements
commited to the trunk since last one would justify it, and of course
if Torcs wouldn't have issued a new release meanwhile.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">As already said, the
content of each
release will be <span style="font-weight: bold;">democratically</span>
decided inside the dev. team.
Stability and bug freeness is not our first purpose, but it's just
the second one : modifications that are not really completed, well
tested or that may degrade the simulation realism, some other
essential feature or performance, or the end-user gaming experience
won't be released (unless they are of great interest and can be
completly switched off through some run-time user action).</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">For the moment, the
supported platforms are Linux (x86, x86_64) and 32 bit Windows XP, but
&nbsp;any volunteer is welcome for any other ... as Torcs is known
to work on&nbsp;Linux PPC, FreeBSD, MacOSX and Windows Vista.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p>
