[Visualpython-users] New beta release

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

At http://sourceforge.net/projects/visualpython there is a new release 
4.beta3 that fixes some (but not all) known bugs in the new beta version 
of VPython. See the "Recent developments" section of vpython.org for 
information about this new version.

Notes: Significant restructuring: simplified scaling and viewing; 
various bugs fixed. Known remaining bugs: Rings have fixed radius, and 
setting axis other than in x direction has side effect of making mouse 
coordinates wrong. Arrows get picked by mousing far from the arrow. 
Labels not working at all well on Windows. Graphing not finished, though 
it works if x and y axes are comparable in scale. Mouse handling buggy 
(e.g. in stonehenge example rotation is way too fast; right drag and 
rotate are commingled). Some view stuff still not quite right (move in 
toward stonehenge and the front disappears too soon).
