ANNOUNCING: PLIB 1.5.1, PLIB Demos.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order that developers may get some experience with features scheduled
to go into PLIB 1.6.x (eventually), this is the second beta: PLIB 1.5.1

I also created tarballs for ExPoser (which requires PLIB 1.5.1) and
TicTacToe3D (which runs under PLIB 1.4.0 or later).  Check out the
new "Examples and Demos" link from the PLIB homepage.

  * Added ssgTween and ssgTweenController
 
  * Added puFileSelector - henceforth puFilePicker is deprecated.
 
  * Added ulList
 
  * Added VRML loader (this one works!)
 
  * Numerous bug fixes in other loaders.
 
  * Added TopHat support to JS
 
  * Added support for >3 simultaneous sounds in SL.
    (You have to explicitly enable that though - it's not
    the default)
 
  * Fixed bugs in util's directory handling.
 
  * puInput and puListBox now cope better with text that
    is too big for the widget
 
  * puListBox (and hence puFileSelector and puFilePicker)
    works with both large and small font sizes.
 
  * puDial changed to be derived from puSlider - many
    consequences of that change will be visible in the
    application.  (eg output range is 0..1 and not 0..360)
 
  * PUI widgets are now 'sticky' so that if you are
    dragging a slider along a puSlider and your mouse
    slips off the edge of it, it'll still have "focus".
 
  * Added sgLerpAnglesVec3 to linearly interpolate
    angles allowing for the nasty wrap-around-360
    problem.
 
  * Added sgLineSegment3ToLine3, sgDistSquaredToLineVec3
    sgDistSquaredToLineSegmentVec3, sgDistToLineVec3 and
    sgDistToLineSegmentVec3.  Also sgLine3 and sgLineSegment3
    structures.
 
  * Added a 'Gallery' page to the documentation to show
    potential developers the range of applications that use
    PLIB - and also to promote things our developers have done.
    To save download time and CVS space, the actual images
    are not in the PLIB tarball.
