Vis5d+ 1.0.1 is now available, with several bugfixes, including fixes for crashing bugs under Linux. Linux multithreading now works.

Vis5d+ is based upon a program called Vis5d, for which I had been maintaining a version with an autoconf-based build process with the blessing of the original Vis5d developers. Vis5d also has had an unusually large number of other forked enhancements in the past; hopefully, some of these may be merged into Vis5d+.... read more
