------------------------ RELEASE 1.0.1 ------------------------
This is a bugfix release.
* In the previous binary release, Config.prc did not contain a
load-display line. This confuses pview. Pview is being fixed,
but until then, the load-display line has been restored.
* The Max and Maya plugins were inadvertently omitted from the
previous binary release. This has been corrected.
* An error in the distributed object networking layer has
been fixed. The error only affected those who were trying to
write LAN games using the CMU LAN server and p2p messages.
* An error in the physics code has been corrected.
* Python Megawidgets (pmw), which is required for "directtools",
was not supplied in the previous release. We are now including
pmw. In the Linux RPMs, to avoid overwriting any
distribution-supplied pmw package, we put this package
into /usr/share/panda3d.
* To be consistent, we moved all the other python code into
/usr/share/panda3d as well. This requires a file 'panda.pth'
in the python lib directory.
* In the binary RPMs, the file permissions of the python
source files have been changed to 555, so that even if root
runs panda, the '.pyc' files will not be modified or regenerated.

* Panda no longer requires any registry keys or environment
variables. This means it is now possible to run panda directly
from a CD, install multiple copies of panda on a single machine,
or install panda by copying the tree from another computer.
Note that the installer does add the panda 'bin' directory to
your PATH, and it does store an uninstall key in the registry,
but neither of these is needed for panda to function.
* The 'makepanda' build system is now capable of building
prepackaged games for Windows. These prepackaged games are simply
copies of panda with the game code included, some of the
unnecessary stuff stripped out, and some changes to the start
menu. See "Airblade - Installer" on the panda downloads page
for an example.
* This is the first release to include not just a binary installer
for windows, but also binary RPMs for fedora 2, fedora 3, and
redhat 9.
* All of the sample programs have been tested. The ones that didn't
work have been removed, the ones that do work have been (lightly)
documented.
* In the Win32 binary release, the 'config.prc' file has been moved
to the 'etc' directory. This is to make it consistent with the
Linux version.

for character studio, and the polygon winding bug has been fixed.
