PRE-RELEASE WITH PROPRIETARY ZSPACE SDK = DISTRIBUTE APP ONLY, NO SOURCE!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2021-10-05 ANTz+Xr v0.226.1

Fixed:
- Node table loading bug (that would create grids instead of glyphs).
- Added VS2013 MS redistributable installer in case of missing DLL.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2021-07-01 ANTz v0.224.8

Fixed:
- CSV loading 'err 4222' (caused by splitbock cropSize being 1 byte over).
- CSV loading topo = 8 (plane) switching to a grid (legacy support removed).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2021-06-22 ANTz v0.224.7

Fixed:
- Models drawing on zSpace (and perhaps for other AMD systems, etc.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2021-06-20 ANTz v0.224.5

Enhancements:
- Redundant links are now allowed (multiple links between same endpoints).

Fixed:
- Link draw array (linkQue) moved to sg->map.linkQue (vs sg->io.gl.linkQue).
  - Solved the memory problem (caused by memset with &console->menu).
- Link ratio (diameter) only works with keyboard not with mouse tools.
- Link flickering with subsampling, (except link to main root grid).
- antz[dataset].bat file path corrected (there is still a flag loading bug).
- 'Create' tool generates two sub-toroids when clicking on primary torus.
- SHIFT+N crashes for root pin that has no children.
- Globals table not loading with the presets (1 2 3).
- Numerous memory fixes (realloc, memset, array[index], etc).

Bugs:
- Merging a scene (loading) erases the existing tags.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2021-06-18 ANTz v0.224.4

Enhancements:
- Changed links to use separate pointer for B-end.
  - A-end parent is still the links 'parent'.
  - B-end parent is now 'linkB' ptr (vs child[0]).

Fixed:
- Links now work.
- Loading topo 'plane' geometry size issue.

Bugs:
- Link draw array (linkQue) moved to sg->map.linkQue (vs sg->io.gl.linkQue).
  - A workaround that fixes the crashing for unknown (memory) problem(s).
- Link ratio (diameter) only works with keyboard not with mouse tools.
- Link to root grid causes err.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2021-02-01 ANTz v0.224.3

Enhancements:
#305 Add child -> world_x/y/z coordinates to GUI.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2021-01-31 ANTz v0.224.1

Enhancements:
- O key now matches the model to its texture (Alt+O to leave texture ASIS).
- Alt+O changes topo type without changing the geometry, (also Shift+Alt+O).
- Saving a dataset now creates 'antz[dataset].bat' in the dataset folder.
- L key file dialog now loads entire dataset when the antz...bat is opened.
- Alt+L-key now assigns the model (and texture) to currently selected glyphs.
- Loading is getting smarter (eg. attempts to load unknown file extensions).

Fixed:
- Models auto scale and center fixed.

Tips:
If a models file does not load properly, you can try opening the models
file in a 3D editor (3DS Max, Maya, Blender, Ogre...) and then export it 
(with meshes only). We reccomend using the COLLADA format (for future glTF
conversion), you also might want to try .3DS, .OBJ and .STL formats.

*Note MySQL DB is disabled on this version, (just for faster startup).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  - UP (Arrow) when at main root grid will select previous glyph.
    - Shift+UP will select leaf (path of previous traversal).
- Selection:
  - Spacebar (still) toggles selection wireframes ON/OFF.
    - Alt+Spacebar (now) toggles current node selection ON/OFF.
  - ' (right quote) now ripples branch level selection of child nodes.
    - Shift+' will reverse direction, (and will stop before sub-grid).
