This release is primarily a bugfix release. There was an overload resolution bug with the virtual and non-virtual render() methods. Because of scoping rules, the virtual methods were not seen by descendants of Renderable causing an infinite recursion of the virtual method resulting in a segfault.
To remedy this, two new macros have been created: PAPYRUS_RENDERABLE() and PAPYRUS_DRAWABLE(). In addition to adding the using directive to a class these macros provide some of the other repetitive code used in each descendant of Renderable and Drawable, including declaration of smart pointer types.
Additionally, a small bug in the shapes example program has been fixed.
