[K3d-development] CVS release notes - K-3D 0.3.0.75

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

* Nodes can be expanded / collapsed in the hierarchy control - Romain. 
You'll see that there are "+" and "-" buttons in the hierarchy, that 
work in the obvious way.  In the long term we will be taking a hard look 
at how the hierarchy and the DAG interact, and may get rid of the 
hierarchy altogether, but in the short-term this should be a popular 
feature.  Many thanks to Romain!

* Created "BevelPoints" filter.  This is an example of a plugin that 
would be prohibitively difficult to write using the old geometric 
interfaces, but is downright simple using k3d::mesh.  It's also a good 
example of a topology-altering (as opposed to a position-altering) 
filter, that, like the rest of our filters, can be animated and used 
with both manual and procedural workflows.  I'm very encouraged by the 
ease with which I wrote this filter.

* Added "OK" and "Cancel" buttons to manual-workflow dialogs.  This 
isn't rocket-science, of course, but I'm still pleased with how the 
manual workflow is coming together - the implementations in the user 
interface layer are turning-out to be very simple and clean, which is 
the surest sign that we're on the right track with this design.

Enjoy!
Tim
