----------------------------------------------------------------------
This release provides initial support for reading some older
(platform-dependent) v4 geometry database files regardless of their
originating platform. Binary-incompatible v4 geometry database files
can be opened read-only within MGED where geometry can be inspected,
drawn, exported via the "keep" command, and updated to the newer
(platform-independent) v5 geometry database file format via the
"dbupgrade" command. In order to override the otherwise automatic
binary-incomaptible v4 detection, MGED's "opendb" command provides a
new -f flip option and all applications can override behavior with a
LIBRT_V4FLIP environment variable.
Also introduced with this release are numerous binary platform
integration and usability enhancements for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and
other Linux platforms. Included in Jordi Sayol's efforts are new
desktop icons, new menu items, mime-type association, and more.
