NAME
       coin401 - New Features in Coin v4.0.1

       This is a bugfix release.

       This is a brief summary of the new features in Coin v4.0.1:

       o Version control system has been changed from Mercurial to Git.

       o Home of Coin3d organization has been changed from
         https://bitbucket.org/Coin3D to https://github.com/coin3d due to
         Bitbucket ending Mercurial support.

       o Added CI for macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu per GitHub actions to
         repository

       o Added checksum generation to AppVeyor CI

       o Added macOS images to AppVeyor CI

       o The expat sources under coin/src/xml/expat were updated to version
         2.2.10.

       o Introduced new COIN_DEBUG_CHECK_THREAD option.

       o Introduced COIN_GLX_PIXMAP_DIRECT_RENDERING environment variable to
         force direct rendering of offscreen contexts.

       Bug fixes:

       o Optimized mutex debugging.

       o Fix integer division issue.

       o Fix material and normal handling for indexed line set.

       o Fix resource lookup when HAVE_MULTIPLE_VERSION is enabled in CMake
         build script.

       o Fixed an transparency issue for indexed lineset.

       o Move constant data to read only data segment to reduce size of shared
         object library (see https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2017/01/08/add-
         a-const-here-delete-a-const-there)

       o Fixed numerous issues detected by static code analysis.

       o Fix linking with system installation of expat.

       o Fix broken ABI version on .so link.

       o Do not run programs for determining hash quoting to support cross
         compiling.

       o Fix testing for maximum texture size.

       o Removed obsolete ATI driver issue check. Do not check for ATI driver
         issues fixed long time ago (see issue #412). We added environment
         variable COIN_GLGLUE_DISABLE_VBO_IN_DISPLAYLIST for compatibility
         with the old behaviour.

       o Fix underlinking against X11 in CMake build scripts.

       o Set GLSL shader version to 120 to avoid rendering issues with fog.

       o Enable non power of two textures for ATi and Intel by default. For
         those who are in need of the old behavior, an environment variable
         COIN_GLGLUE_DISABLE_NON_POWER_OF_TWO_TEXTURES has been added.

       o Do not disable VBO rendering for Intel graphics drivers anymore.
         Recent Intel graphics hardware is known to properly support VBO
         rendering. So we remove the code for disabling it by default.

       o Fix GLX glue trying to use NULL display, i.e. when a unix platform
         has a non-GLX context: usually Wayland, but also might be offscreen
         or maybe EGL-X11.

       o Fix operator arguments on some base types to use const references
         rather than copies.

       o Fixed incorrect rendering of SoFaceSet. Conditions when to render as
         VertexArrayObject were not properly checked.

       o Fixed incorrect line ending handling for Windows CR/LF.

       o Fixed incorrect closest point calculation for bounding boxes.

       o Applied some distribution patches from Fedora, Rosa, and Gentoo.

       o Added some class documentation and fixed numerous documentation
         issues.

       o cpack.d was made optional and disabled by default (add
         -DCOIN_USE_CPACK=ON to the cmake commandline to enable it).

       o Reference line for text rendered with the built-in default font was
         changed (before: descender line, now: base line). Thus text rendered
         with default font will appear a few pixels lower than before, but now
         consistent with text using non-default fonts. (see
         https://github.com/coin3d/coin/pull/368)

       o Fixed crash when call to cc_flww32_get_bitmap() failed.
