------------------------ RELEASE 1.1.0 ------------------------
This is a BETA release. It's pretty reliable, but there are still a
few quirks here and there. Over the summer, Panda3D was overhauled
top to bottom. The new code is dramatically improved, but it needs a
little bit of testing. The new features are:
* Much faster rendering of high-poly models.
* Dramatically improved vertex and pixel shader support.
* New demo programs using shaders and render-to-texture.
* Play movies by using an AVI as a texture (windows only).
* Python scripting uses much faster python to C++ interface.
* Support for procedurally-created geometry (eg, fractals, etc).
* Cleaner, simpler internal data structures.
* Comes with Python 2.4 support built-in.
* A lot more.
The new demo programs are:
* Render to Texture Demo
* Cartoon Shader Demo
* Motion Trails Demo
* Procedural Geometry (Fractals) Demo
* Normal Mapping Demo
However, a caution: this is a BETA release: reasonably stable, but
not quite perfect. Please send us your bug reports.

UPDATE: this release broke support for visual studio. Use
