- Visual Studio .NET 2003 solution in build/msvc7/
- some minor API additions for internal optimization purposes
- new node SoTextureCombine (for multi-texturing)
- new texture coordinate mapping nodes SoTextureCoordinateCube,
SoTextureCoordinateCylinder, and SoTextureCoordinateSphere
- vertex buffer objects support
