+* April 20, 2002

+* Created a src/libs subdirectory for several packages that need to be
+  installed by the user but are used by many other packages and may already
+  be installed.  So we just bundle the source separately as a convenience
+  if the user needs to build and install these.
+* Upgrade to zlib-1.1.4 (security fix)
+* Upgrade to metakit-2.4.2-32.tar.gz (latest upstream release)
+* Added support for point objects in the scenery file format.
+* Additions to the binary file format to make it *much* more flexible.
+  For each major primative type: points, triangles, fans, and strips, you
+  can specify an index list of vertices, normals, colors, and texture
+  coordinates.  You can skip any of these you like to save on space.
+* Added support for new file features in the binary -> ascii scenery file
+  decoder.
+* Various code clean ups.
+* Separate XML I/O operations into a separate header file.
+* Major property manager rewrite, then lots of followup cleaning and
+  improvements.
