Were all these with 2.4?

Besides this we are testing it with all the existing standard packages, not just

AFAIK that Collada person at Katalabs has worked on OpenCollada, which is exactly the library that Blender 2.5 uses for the new Collada support there. That is what that the previous posts were pointing at. If  I understood correctly, the guy who was testing it now here (at our company Playsign, for the same GLGE engine that Katalabs uses BTW) reported that Blender 2.55 beta did export skeletal animations in Collada .. some of them didn't work right in GLGE but that can be another story.
