> 
> Numerical resolution issues with the PRC camera orientation

> Release Notes for Version 2.17
> 
> A bug with non-square pen function images was fixed.  
> Autoscaled logarithmic axes were fixed. Offscreen and non-
> offscreen rendering are now supported in a single binary 
> (requiring OSMesa version 8), with settings.offscreen 
> defaulting to false. The media9 LaTeX style file is now used 
> to embed 3D PRC content instead of movie15. Local 3D 
> coordinates are now used. PRC Part names are nolonger 
> generated by default. A bug in bezulate was fixed. A 
> settings.axes3 flag was added to control the visibility of 
> PRC axes. An efficient 3D routine for drawing many 
> triangles, with specified vertices and optional normals or 
> vertex colors, was implemented.
