[Visualpython-users] update

[Bruce S. <ba...@an...>]

Minor update to downloads on the VPython web site. New versions of the demo 
programs stonehenge.py and toroid_drag.py to use the new mouse machinery 
and implement dragging with mouse button down.

To my surprise, stonehenge worked fine after merely inserting scene.newzoom 
= 1. On the other hand, toroid_drag needed some modest restructuring.

Minor update to Windows VPython installer and to the Doc zip file. There was
an error in cross-links on the Visual documentation page dealing with
floating division.

At http://vpython.org the Windows and Linux installer downloads have 
been updated to contain the new Boost-based VPython created by Jonathan 
Brandmeyer. Some minor corrections were made to the installers found at 
sourceforge.net.

Congratulations, Jonathan! This is a major step forward. There is a new 
built-in object, helix, and it is used in a new, very fast version of 
the demo program crystal.py. There is a new __copy()__ routine for 
copying objects; it replaces the old __members__ attribute.

And wait till you see what Jonathan has in store for you next....
