Thanks Eros,

I am happy this version is out! I appreciate it even more I know you are busy now.
I thought it will be just updated modules collection, but the new statements and thinAir author field are really nice!

It also brings new TBGL 0.2.2 update, here is list of changes/bugfixes/additions/tweaks/future preparations:
A %TBGL_WS_DONTSIZE
T Better model memory handling
T Speed improvement in model rendering, EVEN ON INTELS :D
T TBGL_SceneRender minor tweaks
F internals getting ready towards making tbgl_m15InitModelBuffers not obligatory
B Entity point light worked wrong
B Entity scaling worked wrong

The most essential are the bugfixes, without them the attached script would not work.
TBGL also contains optimizations on models, even on Intel GM I got 25% speed boost, hope your cards will do even better :)
%TBGL_WS_DONTSIZE is flag for TBGL_CreateWindowEx, which forces fixed size window, good for single resolution games like AirDogs1942.
