<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
Why are you writing these mails now on a nearly daily basis to
this list?<br>
<br>
We explained to you clearly that OpenCL development is on hold,
due to driver limitations and hardware restrictions. We don't have
the resources to spend hours and days on a hardware platform that
is not working for us at this point.<br>
We will of course re-check on that when AMD releases new
drivers/compilers but again, writing to this list with the same
arguments over and over again won't speed this up.<br>
<br>
Also I don't understand why you test with old Blender 2.61...<br>
