We are proud to annouce the very release of FreeWRL 0.30, a beta release
of the FreeWRL free VRML and X3D browser for Linux.

Features of 0.30

        - X3D compatibility, thanks to Don Brutzman's translator SW.

        - Java integration improved.

        - EAI integration improved.

        - Text and FontStyle nodes almost compliant.

        - ElevationGrids working.

        - Many Texture improvements.

        - Re-vamped Netscape Plugin.

        - reworked install process.


FreeWRL works on Unix machines. The target machine runs RedHat
7.2, but all other Linux and FreeBSD platforms are very easy to port
to; Irix, Solaris, and other Unix boxes take a little bit more
work. The INSTALL.html document outlines the work needed to
install FreeWRL on machines other than the target machine.


Give it a try by viewing FreeWRL Home Page at:

or

We are always looking for feedback, and/or help to make FreeWRL
work for you.

Thanks;

John Stewart
CRC Canada.
