Hi,
i've got here some Sprites parented to some Pivots. When i rotate these pivots (turnentity pivot,pitch,yaw,roll),then the Sprites don't "look" at the camera any more!
Is this a bug or my mistake?

Import klepto.minib3d

Graphics3D 800,600,32,2

Local camera:TEntity = CreateCamera()

Local lpivot:TEntity = CreatePivot()
Local lsprite:TSprite = LoadSprite("070320_miniB3D.png",1,lpivot)
'SpriteViewMode(lsprite,1)

MoveEntity lpivot,0,0,4

Repeat
	TurnEntity lpivot,1,1,1
	UpdateWorld
	RenderWorld
	
	Flip
Until KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE)

edit:// Well, it's the extended version, but i don't think, that klepto worked with the sprite stuff, did he?

Bug confirmed, will fix in the next release.

Any hints on when you're thinking the next release may be, Simon?
The 0.41 version was released in february, and I'm guessing quite a few things have been updated and fixed since that?!
