Release Notes for Version 2.19
Numerical resolution issues with the PRC camera orientation and viewportshift were fixed. The lighting of NURBS surfaces was fixed. The special 8192 strlen NSIS build was now correctly reinstated, with stubs, to prevent the installer from overwriting Windows PATH environment variables > 1023 bytes.
Release Notes for Version 2.18
A compilation issue on MacOSX was addressed. Secondary axes pictures now inherit the size of the primary picture, so that the markthin marker works properly. The special 8192 strlen NSIS build was reinstated to prevent the installer from overwriting extremely long Windows PATH environment variables.
Release Notes for Version 2.17
A bug with non-square pen function images was fixed. Autoscaled logarithmic axes were fixed. Offscreen and non- offscreen rendering are now supported in a single binary (requiring OSMesa version 8), with settings.offscreen defaulting to false. The media9 LaTeX style file is now used to embed 3D PRC content instead of movie15. Local 3D coordinates are now used. PRC Part names are nolonger generated by default. A bug in bezulate was fixed. A settings.axes3 flag was added to control the visibility of PRC axes. An efficient 3D routine for drawing many triangles, with specified vertices and optional normals or vertex colors, was implemented.
