OpenVRML is a C++ runtime library for VRML97 and X3D worlds.  It is
capable of reading and displaying VRML/X3D; it can be used for creating
loaders, file converters, and VRML/X3D browsers.

OpenVRML includes an out-of-process viewer component for use in X11
environments along with hosts for this component in the form of a
Mozilla browser plug-in and a stand-alone player.

New in OpenVRML 0.17.5:

- Fixed PROTO instantiation not to clone non-default initial values.
  In addition to improving performance, this fixes a crash that
  occurred when an initial value was or contained a Script node.

- Fixed parsing of PROTO definitions with multiple IS mappings from
  different components of the same exposedField/inputOutput.

- Changed the build configuration to default not to apply an -rpath
  argument for the Gecko runtime library directory to executables that
  link with libopenvrml.
