6       coin400 - New Features in Coin v4.0.0
7
8       Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies AS ended Coin as a commercial product
9       and re-licensed it under the BSD 3-clause license as a service to the
10       user community.
11
12       The build system has been migrated from GNU Autotools to CMake.

16       • Support for UNICODE text (starting with Coin 4.0 strings are UTF-8
17         encoded).
18
19       • View volume and projectors now support reverse perspective camera
20         settings
21
22       • New SoReversePerspectiveCamera node added
23
24       • New getRadius method added to SoRayPickAction
25
26       • New virtual method getPickedPointForStart added to SoDragger to allow
27         dragging of (partially) covered objects by derived draggers
28
