      Wrapping is based on OpenSceneGraph version 2.8.2.
      Several demo and test programs showing the new functionality.
    + Support for Visual Studio 2008.
    + Improved detection of OS and compiler in make files: To detect, if using
      a DOS console for compilation, the existence of environment variable
      VSINSTALLDIR is checked. This variable is also used to detect a .NET
      compiler (i.e. VS2005 or VS2008, which need manifests).

      all known extension names.
      Added test file findFuncs.tcl.
    + CAUTION: Incompatible changes, if used from the Tcl level.
      Replaced Int8, Float32, ... with corresponding GLbyte, GLfloat typedefs.
      Also changed function names accordingly.

  - Bug fixes:
    + Corrected bug in OpenGL wrapper createGlewSwigFile.tcl:
      glGetStringi was not wrapped.

  - New demos:
    + 7 new demos added since release 0.4.0.
      These have been previously released as Tcl3D Demo of the month.

  - Build environment:
    + Windows XP SP3                  : VS Express 2005 SP1
    + SuSE Linux 10.2 32-bit (2.6.18) : gcc 4.1.2
    + SuSE Linux 10.2 64-bit (2.6.18) : gcc 4.1.2
    + OS X 10.4 (Tiger)               : gcc 4.0.1
    + SGI IRIX 6.5.22                 : gcc 3.4.6 (Nekoware)

  - Enhancements / New features:
    + CAUTION: Possibly incompatible changes.
      OpenGL wrapping is now based on GLEW, because the previously used OglExt
      extension library is no longer supported.
      OpenGL version now supported is 3.0, based on GLEW version 1.5.1.
      No C++ dependency anymore in the core module.
    + No more initialization (tcl3dOglExtInit) of the extended OpenGL
      functionality needed. This is done now when creating the Togl widget.
    + The old OpenGL extension library OglExt automatically detected, if
      OpenGL functions are not implemented in the OpenGL driver, and did
      nothing in that case. This had the disadvantage, that programs seem
      to run, but indeed were missing an extension function.
    + New OpenGL utility procedures:
      tcl3dOglHaveFunc, tcl3dOglGetFuncList,
      tcl3dOglGetFuncSignatureList, tcl3dOglGetFuncVersionList.
    + CAUTION: Possibly incompatible change.
      Togl's command line parameter "-swapinterval" is set to zero by default, so
      that demos always run with maximum framerate, instead of being fixed to
      the display's refresh rate.
      Removed now obsolete "-swapinterval 0" statements in several demos.
    + Demo tcl3dInfo.tcl updated to display OpenGL version information,
      function signature and availability of all wrapped OpenGL functions.
    + User and reference manuals updated.

  - Bug fixes:
    + GLEW has wrong glPointParameterfv* functions signatures:
      "float *" instead of "const float *" according to OpenGL standard.
      Changed in glew.h file.
    + tcl3dVecMath.c had incorrect tcl3dMatfRotate function.
      Thanks to Stefan Augustiniack for patch.

  - Removed features:
    + Removed obsolete versions 0.1 and 0.2 from Tcl3D homepage.
    + Removed compatibility function for version 0.1.
    + CAUTION: Possibly incompatible change.
      Removed wrapping of Windows specific OpenGL functions (wgl*).
      Operating system specific functions should only be used in the Togl code.

  - New demos:
    + 4 new demos added since release 0.3.3.
      These have been previously released as Tcl3D Demo of the month.

  - Build environment:
    + Windows XP SP3                  : VS Express 2005 SP1
    + SuSE Linux 10.2 32-bit (2.6.18) : gcc 4.1.2
    + SuSE Linux 10.2 64-bit (2.6.18) : gcc 4.1.2
    + OS X 10.4 (Tiger)               : gcc 4.0.1
    + SGI IRIX 6.5.22                 : gcc 3.4.6 (Nekoware)

  - Enhancements:
    + Enhanced documentation:
      Reference manual for Tcl3D specific functions.
      User manual updated and enhanced.
    + Added 64-bit Linux to the supported list of platforms.
    + Improved Mac OS X support:
      Fixed resize problems in presentation framework.
      Consistent mouse button behaviour across operating systems.
    + Trackball module supports multiple windows.
      CAUTION: Incompatible change. Additional Togl window parameter in
               procedures tcl3dTbAnimate, tcl3dTbInit, tcl3dTbMatrix.
      Thanks to Michael Magoga for this patch.
    + New OpenGL utility procedures:
      tcl3dOglGetIntState, tcl3dOglGetFloatState, tcl3dOglGetDoubleState.
      tcl3dOglGetMaxTextureSize, tcl3dOglGetMaxTextureUnits,

      new low-level routines.
    + Starpacks now allow drag-and-drop of TclKit files.
    + tcl3dGetExtFile not constrained to Starkits anymore.
