[PLIB-announce] Announcing PLIB Version 1.1.12

ANNOUNCING PLIB V1.1.12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  It's been a *long* time since we had a PLIB release (partly because it's
now available under CVS - and partly because I've been too busy to do it).

  This release will probably be the last PLIB prior to the new, 1.2.xx
stable release - so please check it carefully against your applications
code and mail the PLIB-developer's list if there are any problems.

  I suspect that the 'CHANGES' file is wildly inaccurate - but here are
the changes I know about and can remember:

  * Fixed some compilation problems for Macintosh/Codewarrior
    which treats 'xor' and 'or' as reserved words!! Yikes!
    Thanks to Darrell Walisser for that piece of nasty news.
 
  * Fixed some problems in slMODinst.cxx that were causing
    compilation warnings under windoze (thanks to Bram Stolk)
 
  * Changed SL to open audio devices with O_NONBLOCK -
    thanks to Trent Gamblin for spotting this one.
 
  * Added configure.in check for libdl to cover bug in ld.so
    under Linux.  Application programs under Linux need to
    link to libdl.so in order to work around this.
    Ben Woodhead <za...@is...> added this.
 
  * Added Borland project files, thanks to Dave Heil for
    contributing these.
 
  * Swapped order of multiplication in sgMultMat4. Thanks to
    Lucas Ackerman for spotting this one.
 
  * Added a unique ID field to every node in the scene graph.
    This helps out some picking algorithms in PPE.
 
  * Added some more ifdefs to make PLIB Audio/JS components
    to make them work under NetBSD. (They already work with
    FreeBSD and OpenBSD).  Many thanks to Rene Hexel!
 
  * Fixed a ref() problem with ssgVtxTable::clone - thanks
    to Will Weisser for catching that one!
 
  * Added checks to ensure that a valid OpenGL rendering
    context exists before ssgInit/puiInit/fnt-loaders are
    called.
 
  * Added Dave McClurg's ASE loader and matching writer.
    If you use the new 'ssgLoad()/ssgSave()' functions,
    it'll "just work" - if you prefer you can call
    ssgLoadASE/ssgSaveASE analogously to all the other
    loaders.
 
  * Several fixes to the quaternion code in SG were
    contributed by "Negative0" <neg...@ea...>
    (Who was that masked man?)
