We are proud to annouce the very release of FreeWRL 0.26, an alpha release
of the FreeWRL free VRML browser for Linux.
This release is giving the free software community a stable enough VRML
browser to use it on a regular basis. Nevertheless, this is an alpha
release and many features are still missing.

FreeWRL features:
 - Most VRML nodes supported (MovieTexture/AudioClip and a few others Not
Yet Supp.)
 - PROTO, DEF, Inlines
 - Javascript support
 - Perlscript support
 - Java EAI interface support
 - TrueType font rendering 
 - External sensor input
 - A descent like fly mode
 - Snapshot through key/perlscripting
 - Support use as a netscape plugin (with xswallow)

Features planed for future releases:
 - Improved EAI support
 - Alpha blending
 - Mpeg1 & MovieTexture support
 - AudioClip & Sound nodes
