Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The interface for changing the precision for XDR/binary
files was
simplified; file parameters can now be queried as virtual
members.
The zoom/menu action was improved to emulate a double-click
and assigned again
to the right mouse button; a left-button binding bug was fixed.
New settings zoomfactor, zoomstep, spinstep, arcballradius,
resizestep, and
doubleclick were added. The OpenGL thread is now exited
gracefully; idle
state and other parameters are properly reset on quitting.
Lighting is now
initialized only in home(). Animations with global=false
were fixed.
An improved (and free) psview PostScript viewer is now
suggested for MSDOS
users. A mechanism for disabling annoying warnings like
"writeoverloaded"
was implemented. The documentation directory under TeXLive
was fixed.
