[Opensg-announce] OpenSG Release 1.4.0

[Andreas Z. <and...@zg...>]

Dear subscribers,

I'm happy to announce the release of OpenSG 1.4. A long time in the 
making, but the result is really promising.
The main part of the work was adding many new features (for a more 
detailed description see 
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=424700) and making it 
even more stable and faster.
We also added a completely new StarterGuide (~190 pages) with many new 
example programs.

Some highlights of the new release are:

- Shader support (CG and OpenGL Shading Language)
- Local light sources
- Improved render speed
- New fast and extendable binary format (osb)
- Volume rendering.
- Trimmed NURBS surface node.
- Cluster improvements

Yours,

Andreas Zieringer
