------------------------ RELEASE 1.4.0 ------------------------
This release incorporates lots of small, incremental improvements.
* Improved OSX support: mouselook, fmod fixes, icon filename.
* Better memory usage tracking from pstats.
* Removed dependencies on NSPR.
* New default-model-extension prc variable (instead of old implicit-extension behavior)
* New arc emitter in particle system.
* Multiple different Actors can be flattened into one node.
* Texture compression in DX8, DX9.
* New features to support low-memory platforms.
* ParametricCurveDrawer etc. officially deprecated in favor of RopeNode.
* DynamicTextFont::RenderMode allows generating geometric fonts (instead of always using texture-based fonts).
* Some integrated support for ODE (not yet polished and ready)
* New RigidBodyCombiner unifies independently moving bodies into a single Geom as a rendering optimization.
* Support for depth-stencil textures.
* Better support for fullscreen mode on Linux.
* Panda GL/DX windows can be subordinate to other windows (Win32 only).
* Better multithreaded protection.
* Interrogate correctly handles "const" vs. non-const objects.
* PlaneNode::set_clip_effect allows user-defined cull planes (in addition to clip planes).
* Several low-level rendering optimizations.
* Simple occlusion culling with PipeOcclusionCullTraverser.
* Optional bounding boxes (instead of spheres): "bounds-type box", "bounds-type best"
I have no doubt that there will be a few significant bugs in this release, like all X.X.0 releases. - Josh
