[Nel] New release

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 16:02:57 +0100

We've advanced NeL to the 0.3 version, and the sample Snowballs game to the
+0.2 version, so we've put a new release on the web site.
+
+Major highlights of NeL:
+- the AI framework compiles correctly under Linux
+- support for shadows, lens flare, and other lighting effects
+- compressed textures
+
+Major highlights of Snowballs (besides the NeL parts)
+- new radar system
+- zoom
+- correct execution under Linux (if your Xserver supports 3D acceleration,
+  otherwise, don't even think about it)
+
+As usual, you may update your CVS repositories and compile, or install the
+packaged source tree and compile from there. Do not forget to install the
+updated data files.
+
+As an aside, we're putting the dreaded 'ns.cfg' file in the data distribution
+but the library defaults are now set to the right server. Even without it,
+you'll no longer get the "cannot resolve pctest" error.
+
+Enjoy the new version.
+
+We'd appreciate feedback on how well it works under Linux. We've tested it
+with NVidia's accelerated modules, and some configurations give us problems
+(like 2 FPS rates), so we'd like to figure out what's wrong with these.
+Many thanks in advance.
+
+The distributions are linked on the news article on the home page of the
+	http://www.nevrax.org/
+web site.
