[K3d-development] Release Notes: K-3D 0.5.12.0

[Timothy M. S. <ts...@k-...>]

Gang:

The highlights of this release are a couple of pretty serious crashes,
including a filepath related issue that has been causing us much grief
on Win32.  You will also note many tutorial-related tweaks because I
(really) am working on tutorials lately.

Cheers,
Tim
