Pretty cool, and I like the simplifications so far; definitely more accessible for newbies.

Looks great! Been meaning to try this again for a while now, and this is probably the right time!

is it possible that something was changed in the linux version regarding the "-OpenGLCompat" work around to prevent the "bleeding through geometry" lines?

I have a more or less newly installed Kubuntu 15.04 and it isn't working anymore.

I now also have sound issues with this release... before installing the i386 version of libopenal solved the null device issue... but now I have that one installed and there is still no audio device to select :-/

[fr1tz]

OpenGL stuff didn't change.

Can't recall right now if tol comes packaged with a libopenal, take a look at the lib/ dir of the releases and if they're there, remove any libopenal files from there.

[Julius]

Yes, comes with libopenal, but removing it doesn't make a difference. But I reverted back to 0.60 and the same two issues crop up, which definitly was not the case on my Kubuntu14.04 system before. Will investigate this a bit further... regarding the OpenGL stuff: the only difference is that I was using bumblebee for my Nvidia Optimus card before and now I use the build in the Nvidia driver system.
