coin240 - New Features in Coin v2.4.0 The primary reason for the 2.4.0 release
was the option of finally building Coin from source on MS Windows without
having to go through the Cygwin process.
There had also been various optimization work on rendering traversal code, file
i/o and other things.
For v2.4.1,
SoExtSelection LASSO and RECTANGLE select could be aborted by
the end-user by hiting the 'END' key. No API-changes was needed for this of
course.
For v2.4.2, we hacked in support for compressed textures through an
API/ABI-invisible field in
SoTexture2, called
'enableCompressedTexture'. This field will remain 'invisible' until Coin
v3.0.0 is released, and can only be accessed from .iv-file input or through
the
SoFieldContainer API.
For v2.4.6,
SbViewVolume::getAlignRotation() was implemented, and
SoToVRML2Action got support for
SoUnits in relation to
SoVRMLTransform nodes.
New features for Coin v2.3.0 are here.
