The version relation between Axiom and OGRE

I'm a c# developer, and I want to develop game using Axiom and release to xbox360 or silverlight 5(pure managed environment).
Now I do it like this way, first I develop game using Mogre, test it and then port to Axiom(it's more easy, less unexpected bugs because Mogre is more stable).
But some features is not supported by Axiom, there is not a clear version relation between Axiom and OGRE, I see the version-logs: http://axiomengine.sourceforge.net/wiki ... o_Ogre_v1.? , it is not easy to use for me.
I think the Axiom's primary advantage is it running in managed environment ( Ogre & Mogre NOT), it's the important reason developers use it.
So is it possible that release Axiom version is associated with OGRE ( eg. Axiom ver* support all features in Ogre ver1.65) , and make more efforts on pure managed environment, more stable and performance in XNA and Silverlight5+.
It just a suggestion, wish more and more people use Axiom.

Welcome, glad to see you are considering Axiom for this.

I can understand what your concerns are. That page should be deleted as I have switched to using Trac and it's milestones to gauge how close Axiom is to any particular version ( see here http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/axiomengine/roadmap ) Although this is also woefully behind and I need to update it as well.

This is a great suggestion and one we are working on already. The difficulty lies in the number of people supporting the code base is fairly small and our time is limited. So progress can sometimes seem stalled. However we are currently working on getting new features from OGRE implemented ( GPU Programs updates from the GSoC, etc ) and Xna 4.0, Silverlight 5, Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7(.5) support, some of which OGRE doesn't or can't support.
