Vrui 3.1-xxx Release Notes
This page lists major changes between Vrui versions 3.0-xxx and 3.1-yyy, both for users and programmers. As always, all changes are listed in detail in the HISTORY file in the package root directory.

- Added option to skip initial movie frames to Vrui's Playback input device adapter.
- Configuration file parser for affine and projective transformations now understands arbitrary sequences of elementary transformations and matrices.
- Added new ViewerConfiguration vislet to fine-tune viewer parameters (eye distance etc.) from within a running Vrui application.

Programmer-Level Changes
- Added event tool creation and destruction callbacks to Vrui::Application base class to give applications more control over tools.
- Added delayed initialization option to GLObject constructor. This way, objects derived from GLObject can delay GL initialization until their application states are fully initialized, to avoid a race condition in multithreaded applications.
- Improved device enumeration API in USB library.
- Removed fog coordinate-related functions from GL headers and moved them to the new GLEXTFogCoord extension class.
