SDK 6.3.0.94 bugs and questions

[buho]

Hellow devs and users!

Please, excuse my poor english and let me introduce myself as a matter of courtesy: I'm buho (correctly spelled "búho", a spanish word for "owl") and I'm playing with the free version of the SDK 6.3.0.94 (downloaded from here some days ago) in Delphi 6 fully patched.

At this point I have some problems/issues/doubts to ask.

1) Minimize/TVMedia crashes.

I think both are reported bugs:

1.1) After minimizing/restoring a windowed TV application, it crashes when closing.
1.2) The app crashes too if using some (all?) TVMedia components.

After some tracings I concluded that 1.1 can be dodged with a somewhat dirty workaround (not destroying the TApplication object while in the shutdown process), but 1.3 can't be stopped without resorting to a very rude hack I not want to use (forcefully closing the DLL module and killing the process before it ends).
 
My question here is: are there some other (less aggressive) workarounds that I have been unable to find?

2) TVLandscape.SetLandscapePosition(X, Y, Z).

"Y" is not working, no way to change the landscape's altitude. And in the "A07 - A Landscape" tutorial application it is floating over the terrain (no way to change the skybox's position either?). In "A08 - ..." the starting altitude is right, something to do with the water? (A08 have water and A07 have not).

3) About 6.3 and 6.5.

For which I have read in the fora, the devs are commited to a new version (6.5). The 6.3 SDK will be patched/maintained o it will be abandoned? Is it going to be fixed in the near future?

If not, when there will be a stable, fully documented version of the new engine?

Thanks in advance.
buho (A).

TY again.
