<P>Question 1. </P>
<P>I looked around the repository a bit too see if the versions of ode were tagged. If they were then you would be able to do a cvs update -r TAG_NAME where TAG_NAME is some moniker like ODE_VER_0_25. However as far as I can see the there are no global tags on the repository.... Perhaps this is something that should be done at the next milestone?&nbsp;</P>
<P>The latest version seems semi-stable to me... although I haven't been doing anything extrodinary with it. </P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the search engine is nice - i might suggest 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;http://www.atomz.com as a free search application that 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;does what google does but YOU have control of how 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;often the pages get indexed and can tell it which 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;sections not to search - i have been using this for 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;years 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;second - here is an example of why i would like a 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;forum - i asked two technical questions - they 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;appeared in the digest two days ago - i have not 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;received any kind of reply to them and now they are 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;buried in the archives - from experience this is much 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;less likely to happen in a forum because you see all 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the topics so things persist a bit longer 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;but i understand - many dev projects live and die on 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;email lists - so we will live with a search engine 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;which is a great addition - and maybe somebody can dig 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;out and answer my newbie questions ;) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;1) how do i get out an old version of ODE (and what is 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;that last semi-stable version - if its the current one 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;then great) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;2) if i run with just the body updates my blocks seem 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to fall to the ground correctly - when i switch on the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;collision checker all of a sudden my blocks fall super 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;fast - i am using the same code from the falling 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;blocks demo file in nearCallback (also tried the one 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;from buggy and the one from monster may=hem - the same 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;things happens) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;3) how do i make a position a Box geom that i want to 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;use as a ground plane - since geoms dont have position 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;yet i need this box to be under everything?? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;thanks!
