Date	Version	Release information
2007/02/25	0.3.2	Demo cleanup and first official Mac OS X support Unification of demo applications and presentation framework. New module tcl3dDemoUtil for C/C++ based utility functions needed by some of the demos for speed issues. More NeHe tutorials added: Lessons 14, 22-24, 26, 28, 33, 36, 37, 41, 45-48. Nine demos from www.GameProgrammer.org added. Updated Tcl3D manual. Created separate demo reference document. Added support to capture screenshots (Module tcl3dCapture). Added new functionality to tcl3dUtil: ArcBall emulation. Added windowing system specifics (SwapInterval, Multisampling) to the tcl3dTogl widget. Added support for Visual Studio 2003 (7.1) and 2005 (8.0) Enhanced tcl3dVector functionality. Utility functions for manipulation of image data stored in tcl3dVectors: tcl3dVectorCopy, tcl3dVectorCopyChannel, tcl3dVectorManip, tcl3dVectorManipChannel tcl3dVector member functions for content independent manipulation: setvec, addvec, mulvec tcl3dOde now uses ODE version 0.7 and is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Irix. Wrapper still in alpha version and not complete. tcl3dGl2ps now uses GL2PS version 1.3.2. tcl3dCg now uses Cg version 1.5.0015. The 1.4 versions of Cg did not work with OS X on Intel platforms.
2006/06/19	0.3.1	Starpack support for Tcl3D Starpack version of Tcl3D, including demos and external libraries. First shown at TclEurope 2006. New optional module tcl3dGl2ps, wrapping the OpenGL To Postscript library. (Thanks to Ian Gay for idea and first implementation) New optional module tcl3dOde, wrapping the Open Dynamics Engine. Very alpha preview, Windows only. More NeHe tutorials added: Lessons 19-21.
2006/02/12	0.3	Bug-fixes and enhancements Support for Mac OS X added. (Thanks to Daniel A. Steffen for supplying Darwin patches and binaries) New optional module tcl3dFTGL, wrapping the OpenGL font rendering library FTGL, based on freetype fonts. Corrected and enhanced font handling under Windows in the tcl3dTogl widget. No more private Tcl header files needed anymore. Added new font related demo programs: tcl3dFont.tcl, tcl3dToglFonts.tcl, ftglTest.tcl, ftglDemo.tcl. Added new SDL demo related to CD-ROM handling: cdplayer.tcl Added some of NeHe's OpenGL tutorials. If an optional library is not installed, no error message is created. New procedures to check existence of optional modules: tcl3dHaveCg, tcl3dHaveSDL, tcl3dHaveFTGL. Get information on Tcl3D subpackages with tcl3dGetPackageInfo and tcl3dShowPackageInfo. Information program tcl3dInfo.tcl enhanced to support commands and enums of SDL and FTGL modules. Added new functionality to tcl3dUtil: Simple, scrollable Tk widgets for demo programs, trackball emulation (used in FTGLdemo.tcl). Added new functionality to tcl3dUtil: tcl3dVectorFromByteArray, tcl3dVectorToByteArray. Convert Tcl binary strings to tcl3dVectors and vice versa (see demo bytearray.tcl). Bug fix in OglExt wrapping: Parameters of type `float ` and `double ` were wrapped incorrectly.
