|
|
|
+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.
