Welcome to Xj3D codebase.  

This are notes for the 12 March 2003 dev release of Xj3D. 

Since Last Dev Release:
-----------------------

  Initial implementation of DragSensors. They mainly work, but there's still
      a few bugs around dealing with autoOffset/offset.

  Improved error messages in many situations - particularly invalid index values
      in indexed geometry.

  Fixed bugs relating to startup exceptions for geometry component nodes inside
      a proto. 

  Fixed bug preventing XML files from being used as the target for Inlines. 

  Fixed bug where Java scripts were not loading in XML files due to incorrect
      attribute handling. 

Major changes since M7:
-----------------------
    
  DragSensors now implemented. Not all debugged though. 

  Preliminary experimental binary format and infrastructure. 

Known Issues:
-------------
  
    General:
        Huge amounts of garbage generated internally within Java3D's picking 
        subsystem using Cone-based objects. Both PickConeRay and PickConeSegment
        are generating upwards of 2MB of garbage a second on a moderately 
        complex scene! There are bug reports in for both of these. 

    MovieTexture
        In order to work, you need to have JMF installed. 

    AudioClip
        The Java3D audio capabilities are exceedingly bug-ridden. If you use
	anything before 1.3.1beta, you'll not hear any audio content. 

    browser
        GeoVRML and UMEL local resolution not supported in pre-compiled code,
            you need to specify the local installation path in DIYBrowser.java
            and recompile.
