OpenVRML 0.15.0 is now available. The distribution can be obtained from

<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/...tar.gz?download>

OpenVRML is a C++ runtime library for VRML97 worlds. It is capable of
reading and displaying VRML; it can be used for creating loaders, file
converters, and VRML browsers.

OpenVRML includes lookat, a simple VRML browser that uses SDL.

This release also introduces a Mozilla plug-in. (See below for some
qualifying remarks on this point.)

You can find OpenVRML on the Web at

<http://openvrml.org>

New in OpenVRML 0.15.0:

- lookat now uses SDL instead of GLUT and is licenced under the terms of
the GPL. (The OpenVRML libraries remain available under the terms of
the LGPL.)

- OpenVRML now builds with Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1.

- Rearchitected event propagation to eliminate string comparisons.
Event propagation is now much, much faster.

- Added a Mozilla plug-in (for platforms that use a GTK+ 2.x-based
Mozilla browser). In this release the plug-in is mostly a proof of
concept which may not be usable for day-to-day browsing of VRML
worlds.

- Eliminated use of regex (so Windows users no longer need the regex
library.)

- Fixed too many bugs to mention here.

- Some of the former OpenVRML versions had real problems when using
EXTERN PROTOs. What is the current situation ?

- Some of the former OpenVRML versions did not support directOutput
to the created scenegraph, like the lines

internNode = Browser.createVrmlFromString('Transform {}');
group.children[i] = internNode[0];
group.children[i].children[0] = particle_node;

Is this problem solved ?
