[Bf-cycles] AMD Cycles

[Thomas Dinges]

Hi,
Why are you writing these mails now on a nearly daily basis to this list?

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.
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.

Also I don't understand why you test with old Blender 2.61...
