140
141	[2.0 Alpha 2 released - 9.22.2003]==============================================
142	Sep-22-2003 aronb NEW VERSION: 1.1.143-1

180	NEW VERSION: 1.1.134
181	Feb-03-2003 allenb Fixed bugs where projections were not being updated
182	correctly. This required API to be updated to pass
183	scale factors to the projection update code.
184	Feb-02-2003 allenb Refactored the way the projection setup code is called
185	Projections are now calculated immediately before
186	being used. This allows the projections to take into
187	account the units that the application is using (feet
188	vs. meters vs. other).
189	Jan-21-2003 allenb Updated to the gadget::PositionProxy interface changes.
190	Added API to OpenGL Application class that returns

206	position filters for data transformations.
207	Oct-24-2002 allenb Fix for context specific data performance bug.
208	This change should increate the performance of context
209	specific data in cases where we are using multiple
210	display pipes. The most recent cubes test application
211	can help to give solid numbers for the new performance
212	SF Bug: 521630
213	NEW VERSION: 1.1.129
214	Oct-14-2002 patrickh Moved the contents of sonix-chunks.desc into
215	vrj-chunks.desc.
216	Oct-10-2002 nonchocoboy VRJConfig loads include files relative to the file that

218
219	[1.1 DR3 released - 9.29.2002]=================================================
220	Sep-29-2002 nonchocoboy NEW VERSION: 1.1.128
221	Sep-26-2002 patrickh Regorganized the samples directory to separate simple
222	applications from advanced examples.
223	Sep-25-2002 nonchocoboy VRJConfig now uses a custom dialog for collection the

226	include into the context by default.
227	Sep-23-2002 nonchocoboy VRJConfig can now successfully close files.
228	Sep-13-2002 nonchocoboy Build java sources using ant.
229	NEW VERSION: 1.1.127
230
231	[1.1 DR2 released - 9.6.2002]==================================================
232	Aug-26-2002 nonchocoboy VRJConfig will now process vjInclude chunks when a file
233	is opened and open the files they point to in the
234	current context.
235	NEW VERSION: 1.1.126
236	Aug-19-2002 nonchocoboy Put vrj-chunks.desc in new contexts by default.

238	configurations (of multiple files each) simultaneously.
239	NEW VERSION: 1.1.125
240	Aug-15-2002 allenb Fixed some uninitialized values.
241	Fixed assertion in Display.h that was asserting on the
242	wrong value.
243	Aug-06-2002 patrickh Developer installations are now constructed using the
244	standard installation targets.
245	Jul-19-2002 subatomic Sonix is now required to compile VR Juggler.
246	Jul-16-2002 nonchocoboy New VRJConfig Tweek bean to replace VjControl.
247	Jul-12-2002 allenb Added OpenSG section to programmers guide.
248	Jul-05-2002 subatomic Enabled GlWindowWin32 to get window events.
249	This change allows window events such as keyboard
250	and mouse to be recieved in graphics windows while
251	running with the Win32 build of vrjuggler.
252	Jul-01-2002 allenb Removed OSG hack and replaced with a much better
253	(and less trusting) solution using new glUserData.
254	Jul-01-2002 allenb Temporary hack added to GlPipe.cpp to set viewport
255	before each call to draw. This was needed to work
256	around a bug in OSG.
257	Jun-27-2002 patrickh The application makefiles now require GNU make, Doozer
258	and the *-config scripts. This fixes path problems in
259	the installation tree.
260	NEW VERSION: 1.1.97
261	Jun-25-2002 patrickh The vrjuggler-config script is now written in Perl. It
262	is capable of determining its installation path at
263	runtime.
264	Jun-21-2002 allenb Fixed bug where GLX window was not processing keyup or
265	button events.
266	Jun-20-2002 allenb Remove multi-threading from the case where GLXWindow and
267	XWinKeyboard are sharing the window to process it as a
268	GFX window and as a keyboard window.
269	This change should greatly increase the stability of GFX
270	window input under X with OpenGL.
271
272	[1.1 DR1 released - 6.13.2002]=================================================
273	Jun-13-2002 patrickh Removed vrj::EnvironmentManager.
274	May-30-2002 patrickh Removed the Juggler_utils library.
275	NEW VERSION: 1.1.95
276	May-29-2002 patrickh Installed dynamic libraries are now named based on the

280	May-22-2002 allenb Updated to work with Boost 0.1.28.
281	May-03-2002 patrickh Remvoed catadf.pl which has been obsoleted by Sonix
282	functionality.
283	Apr-23-2002 patrickh Data files now install into $VJ_BASE_DIR/share/vrjuggler
284	by default. This is done so that they do not conflict
285	with data files from other Juggler modules or system
286	data files.
287	NEW VERSION: 1.1.93
288	Apr-09-2002 allenb The cyclic dependency between VR Juggler and Gadgeteer
289	patrickh has been broken. VR Juggler and Gadgeteer have both
290	been ported to GMTL.
291	NEW VERSION: 1.1.92
292	Feb-27-2002 allenb Added simple navigation to OpenSGNav app.
293	Feb-26-2002 istoynov OpenSG application class added. The OpenSG application
294	reiners class currently factors out all the commonality for
295	allenb OpenSG-based Juggler applications.
296	contributors: Ivan Stoynov & Dirk Reiners
297	Feb-22-2002 allenb OpenSG app now uses MatrixCamera to render displays.
298	Jan-31-2002 allenb Added SignalButtons init and check functions to the
299	Kernel. The only "signal" being checked currently
300	is the VJSystemStopKernel button which triggers a kernel
301	stop call.
302	Jan-31-2002 allenb Moved left and right projections from surface viewport
303	to the base viewport class. Now simulator viewports
304	create to camera projections and just use one by default
305	This simplifies the code and eliminates some redundancy.
306	This should allow for stereo simulator views as well.
307	Jan-31-2002 allenb Moved Projection Enum values into an Enum named Eye.
308	Jan-31-2002 allenb Removed unneeded mType parameter from Projection classes.
309	Jan-31-2002 allenb Modified viewports to have handles to parent displays,
310	and projections to have handles to parent viewports.
311	This enabled camera projection to be calculated
312	in CameraProjection class and to auto calculate
313	the aspect ratio.
314	Now CameraProjection actually calculates a frutum
315	so we do not have to use a special case for
316	simulator camera rendering where we use gluPerspective.
317	Jan-30-2002 allenb Changed order that oglApp functions are called. Now
318	contextInit() is called before bufferPreDraw().
319	Jan-29-2002 allenb Added new interface function oglApp::contextPostDraw()
320	Nov-14-2001 allenb Fixed OsgApp to allow for multi-window/multi-pipe apps.
321	Added method for configuring new osgUtil::SceneViewers.
322	Oct-17-2001 subatomic Fixed bug where vjGetVjMatrix returns the wrong
323	conversion.
324	Oct-17-2001 patrick Renamed the "Data" directory to "data".
325	Oct-15-2001 patrick Renamed the juggler-config script to vrjuggler-config.
326	Oct-12-2001 allenb Removed vrj::Debug. We now use vpr::Debug for all
327	debug output. This involved introducing GUIDs for the
328	vrj debug categories. They can be found in Debug.h
329	Oct-11-2001 allenb Added fix for synchronization errors when reading input
330	from a GlWindowXwin as a keyboard device.
331	Sep-21-2001 patrick Complete restructuring of the VR Juggler source tree.
332	Headers are now rooted in a vrj directory (to match the
333	namespace), and all file names have had the "vj" prefix
334	removed. See RELEASE_NOTES.txt for more details on
335	updating after this change.
336	Sep-20-2001 patrick The default chunk description file for VR Juggler is now
337	vrj-chunks.desc.
338	Sep-19-2001 subatomic Added compatibility include files put
339	-I$(VJ_BASE_DIR)/include/deprecated in your makefile.
340	Sep-19-2001 subatomic Now using the vrj namespace instead of the prefix "vj"
341	on classes.
342	Aug-27-2001 patrick We build DLLs on Win32 now.
343	Aug-24-2001 allenb Moved glWindow factory function to glDrawManager.
344	This removes the dependency that Juggler had on
345	Juggler_ogl.
346	Aug-22-2001 cjust Added XML-based configuration file support to the
347	C++ side of Juggler (EnvironmentManager and ConfigIO
348	classes).
349	Aug-20-2001 cjust Added a VjControl wizard for creating simulator-mode
350	configuration files.
351	Aug-20-2001 cjust Merged support for XML-based configuration files in
352	VjControl. VjControl now requires JAXP (Java API for
353	XML processing).
354	Aug-20-2001 cjust Added an improved default-value handling for ChunkDescs.
355	Default values are now stored in the .desc files, and
356	are editable directly from the ChunkDesc editing window
357	in VjControl. (This requires XML-format ChunkDesc
358	files).
359	Aug-20-2001 cjust Updated VjControl's protocol-selection system to use
360	the new XML-like syntax. This breaks communication
361	with older versions of VR Juggler.
362	Aug-20-2001 cjust Fixed a redraw bug in VjControl that happened when
363	updating the Active chunkdb from a network connection.
364	This could cause the status bar label or the chunkdb's
365	JTree to be shifted to the upper-left corner of the
366	VjControl window.
367	Aug-20-2001 cjust Added lazy initialization of VjControl panels; this
368	cuts startup time and improves scalability.
369	Aug-20-2001 cjust VjControl is no longer built into a compressed .jar
370	file. This cuts several seconds off startup time.
371	Aug-10-2001 allenb Added initial version of OSG (www.openscenegraph.org)
372	support to VR Juggler.
373	This introduces and new application class called vjOsgApp
374	that all OSG-based apps should derive from.
375	There is also a new sample program called osgNav that
376	uses this class to create a basic navigation program.
377	Aug-06-2001 allenb tools/pfStatLinux contains a library that must be used
378	with performer application on Linux due to a bug in
379	performer.
380	Jun-20-2001 allenb Chunk types: simDisplay and surfaceDisplay have been
381	removed from the system. They have been replaced
382	by the new chunk of type displayWindow. Any old
383	chunks will be ignored.
384	Jun-20-2001 patrick The Mac OS X port no longer requires Carbon SetupGL
385	because the necessary SetupGL code has been copied into
386	the library
387	Jun-19-2001 allenb Performer now fully uses run-time reconfiguration at
388	startup and allows for the addition of new display
389	windows at run-time.
390	Jun-11-2001 allenb First pass at (re)configurable pfDrawManager
391	Currently only allows run-time addition of windows.
392	May-21-2001 patrick Initial attempt to support HP-UX 11.x. A newer version
393	of Doozer++ is needed before the port can be completed.
394	May-02-2001 allenb Added new sync string descriptions to flock of birds
395	chunk. Added: CRT_Above_72hz and CRT_Below_72hz
396	NOTE: This BREAKS old config files that had "Normal_72hz"
397	Apr-12-2001 patrick The MotionStar driver now supports setting the
398	measurement rate
399	Apr-03-2001 allenb Refactored the vjDisplayManager to support viewports
400	within display windows. This removes the old surface and
401	simulator display classes and replaces them with new
402	viewport based equivalents.
403	This change also updates the vjGlDrawManager to
404	support the new viewport abilities. The pfDrawManager
405	however does not work yet.
406	This also changes the display configuration chunks and
407	(unfortunately) completely breaks backwards
408	compatibility with display configuration chunks.
409	Apr-03-2001 allenb Added vjGlApp::bufferPreDraw method to the vjGlApp
410	interface. This was needed because of the new viewport
411	rendering abilities. All applications must now execute
412	glClear's ONLY within bufferPreDraw().
413	Mar-28-2001 subatomic vjQuat interface is more fully featured, and now
414	contains documentation. Added tan and atan to vjSystem
415	Mar-01-2001 patrick Added support for a new environment variable $VJ_CFG_PATH
416	that allows users to specify a colon-separated path (or
417	semi-colon-separated on Win32) where config files can
418	be found. This alleviates the need to specify the full
419	path all the time.
420	Feb-17-2001 patrick Added support for NSPR as an operating system
421	abstraction. The operating system abstraction layer has
422	been completely restructured into the VR Juggler
423	Portable Runtime (VPR). This code is now compiled into
424	the Juggler_utils library. Warnings have been added to
425	deprecated header files to let programmers know to
426	update their paths. The vjDebug code has also been
427	moved into the Juggler_utils library so that any code
428	can use it without being tied to the primary Juggler
429	library. The vjSystem interface has been started. It
430	provides static inline functions such as sleep(),
431	usleep(), gettimeofday(), cos(), atan2, and sqrt().
432	Feb-07-2001 patrick The extra VR Juggler data files, sample applications,
433	sample config files, etc. now install in
434	$VJ_BASE_DIR/share by default. This includes the
435	basic chunk description file, so local vjcontrol.cfg
436	files must be updated. The easiest way to do this is
437	to change the descfiles property to have the value
438	"$VJ_SHARE_DIR/Data/chunksDesc". VjControl knows how to
439	expand $VJ_SHARE_DIR on its own.
440	Feb-05-2001 allenb Major refactoring of Input Manager and Input classes
441	Rewrote InputManager class removing redundancy and
442	using templates classes to capture commonality.
443	Redesigned input class hierarchy.
444	Replaced proxies with typedef'ed template classes.
445	Jan-27-2001 patrick The Juggler_utils library must now be linked for all
446	applications.
447	Jan-26-2001 cjust Improved Navigation in VjControl help.
448	Jan-20-2001 cjust VjControl now recommends JDK1.3 (1.2 still minimum).
449	Jan-09-2001 patrick RELENG_1_0 CVS branch created in preparation for 1.0
450	release. This was branched at the same point as the
451	now defunct RELENG_0_2 branch. The HEAD is now moving
452	towards 1.2.
