ODE version 0.7 was released september 8, 2006. Current ODE version in Portage is 0.6. Here is changelog from ODE wiki: Changes from 0.6 to 0.7 * New heightfield primitive for terrains. * Trimesh-Plane collision. * Ray-Cylinder collision. * Integration of the plane-2d joint. * Improved support for convex hulls. * Fix for joint limit handling. * Half-space optimisation for axis aligned planes. It compiles and runs fine on my machine(I have my own application which uses this library. Some of the test programs included with the package give errors, but from what I read, this is expected behavior.
