RME Live underway?
There’s been ages since we last saw or heard any news on Remere’s online mapeditor, but I suspect it might be closer to (beta?) release than most people might think. In the latest release of RME (1.1.10) there was some cryptic phrasing used when explaining why the editor is no longer released under GPL:
and because I’d prefer some of the futures planned for 1.2.0 to be closed-source (for security reasons).
Now, what security reasons might this be? A standard map editor doesn’t do much other than change OTBM files, which is an open-source format. Sure, there could simply be a neat new feature that allows you toread your email in the editor and that it’s only a beta, thus making sure that nobody abuses potential bugs, but I don’t find that likely.
What I do find likely is a scenario where there’s a RME Live Beta around and it might have bugs which could potentially do things on the mapserver that it ain’t supposed to.
Either way, I got my hopes up today. And I know for sure what I want for Christmas now.
