[Bf-committers] 2.42 release logs : about collada and kmz import

["Juan J. Peña M."]

Speaking of the subject... I didn't file an official bug report since 
I'm busy and don't have the time to further investigate it more deeply, 
but:  I have this HUGE kmz file (a 17+3 stories building, with all the 
details such as door handles and window frames) that I modeled in 
VectorWorks, imported into SkecthUp5 (the retail version) and exported 
to the kmz format.

Testing with the official RC3, the file imports OK on Windows XP, but 
fails giving a missing library error on Linux.  Both machines have a 
full (and working) Python 2.4 install.

Sorry for this totally bogus report, I promise will post a proper report 
later on (with the offending kmz file, of course).
