This release enhances the formatting options available "out of the
box" for the NIRT tool, allowing users to easily select different
data reporting options without having to define their own custom
configuration files. CSV output options also allow for quick
and easy import into spreadsheets. The new -L option lists available
formats.
The tire tool's behavior has been improved - it will no longer
overwrite pre-existing files and a "w" flag now accepts a value of
"0" to disable creation of the default wheel rim for modelers wishing
to supply their own rim. A number of small but visual flaws in the
tread geometry definitions were also corrected.
MGED's dbconcat command works again without needing to specifying an
affix for object names when importing geometry from one database to
another. Primitive selection via the Edit menu is working again
thanks to the fixing of the solid_illum bug. The pipe primitive's
performance problems during raytracing, due to unnecessary memory
allocations, are now fixed. The extrude primitive's handling of
invalid geometry is now more robust.
