[openvrml-develop] Progress toward a release

[Braden M. <br...@en...>]

I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on OpenVRML lately; what time
I have had I've spent getting issues with
openvrml-player/openvrml-xembed worked out.

As it stands, Bad Things will still happen if a user attempts to load a
new world (or reload the same world) before the current one (including
all Inlines, images, etc.) has finished loading. And I have reluctantly
come to the conclusion that fixing this will require API changes. And
that means it won't be fixed for 0.16.4.

Some significant fixes have happened since 0.16.3; so I think 0.16.4
will be worth doing in spite of this problem. After 0.16.4 is out, I'll
move on to fixing this for 0.17. This means that 0.17 won't have all the
new features I had wanted to put in it. But at this point I think the
most important thing is to ensure the plug-in and stand-alone viewers
are stable and robust.
