- Meshlab v1.0.0 04/03/2007
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= New features =
* Painting plugin: color, selection and smoothing directly interactively onto the mesh (thanks to gfrei)
* Simplification of textured Mesh with preservation of texture coords (thanks to pirosu)
* Automatic vertex unification when loading stl files
* More user-definable parameters in quadric simplification and in hole filling
* Improved filtering and support for compressed depthimage in the Epoch import tool
* New generic dialog mechanism, easier for developer add/change/document filter parameters
* Selection handling improved in many filters
* Added wiki based online help
* Restored on screen help
* Added online bug submission using Sourceforge tracking system
* Reformatted info bar (Added number of selected faces and fixed size fonts)
= Corrected Bugs =
* Snapshots do not crash MeshLab any more.
* Improved OpenGL shader compatibilities.
* Corrected bug in quadrics simplification about target number of selected faces
* Corrected bug of wrong loading ply with per face color (was save a 3ds and reload as a ply)
* Corrected bug on trackball hanging (if you released a modifier before mouse)
