0. Wishlist

- Internationalization: englisch, German
- Helpbrowser for the Helpsite
- Adding Testpattern (isogonal Checkerboard / Grid) which are independent from projector alignment and fixed and isogonal to the view point. (Implementation in channel.cpp, same idea like overlayimage, but mathematical calculated image.)


================================================================================

Bugfixing:
- Overlay images are now working in local/server and client mode
- Screen models are now displayed on the clients immediate after connecting (previous the server needed to load a _new_ model to trigger the clients)
- If a Screen model file (but defined in a project file) does not exist, a error message is given and a new project started instead of exiting the application without message. 
- in client mode with screen model, a sync (called by the menu entry) led to a black screen on all clients. This is fixed.

Ergonomics:
- Filter invalid filenames from screen model loader. This way immediate application shutdown is prevented: On invalid screen model filename: filename is cleared, model not loaded and user informed via message box.
- All "Open file" dialogues now using the recent filename as default.
- All menu entries are now available via shortcut. The shortcuts for distortion mode, blend mode and preferences are application wide (independent from window)
- Icons for easier identification added.

Functional Improvements:
- Added "About Qt" to the help menu to make the information about used Qt-Version available.

Miscellaneous:
- compiled against Qt 4.5.1

Knowing Issues:
- Only screen models consisting of surfaces are possible. Screens of (even thin) solids lead to unusable distortionmaps.

=======================================================================
II. General Changes:

* The include of <glx.h> and <glxext.h> are replaced by an include og <GL/gl.h>,
  with a define og GL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES to enable the use of the ...EXT
  prototypes.

* The types GLRC_RTT_FBO and GLRC_RTT_COPYSUBTEX are supported. The types 
  GLRC_RTT_PBUFFER_RTT and GLRC_RTT_PBUFFER are not. So the include of
  "PBuffer.h" becomes windows-specific (not yet implemented with the linux 
  version).

* export() methods are renamed in export_dataset(), because 'export' is a 
  reserved keyword.

* Under linux, files are case-sensitive, so includes are corrected when it is 
  necessary.

* The default rendering becomes GLRC_RTT_AUTO instead of GLRC_RTT_PBUFFER_RTT
  (which are unavailable under linux).

* The QProjectorWindow() calls are changed, in order to open a new window
  (otherwise the window opens in the OpenGL Viewer under linux if parent is 
  getMainWindow()). 0 is used instead.

* Under linux, a switch on a variable of type enum generates some warnings if 
  all values are not switched, or of there is no default case. That's why 
  switch-cases are fullfilled.

* Files CHANGES, README and TODO are added.

III. File-specific Changes:

* glrc/Compositor.cpp:
  - The printShaderInfoLog procedure was declared as static but not defined
    (this causes a compilation error).

* glrc/glrc.cpp:
  - Glee include missed.
  - glrcDeleteCompositors(): the 'compositors' parameter is unused.

* glrc/glrc.h:
  - The DLL definitions are windows-specific.

* glrc/rgbe.c:
  - A warning correction (conversion between signed/unsigned).

* projdesigner/include/Channel.h:
  - Some methods were unused.

* projdesigner/include/Scene.h:
  - The gridsize attribute is converted from int to float, which seems more 
    coherent.

* projdesigner/include/glm/glm.h:
  - This is a header file, so include definitions are added (#define __GLM_C__)
  - As this is a C++ header file, 'extern "C"' is added to respect the 
    convention calls.

* projdesigner/main.cpp:
  - Under linux, when using glut, the initialisation is necessary, even if it is
    only glutWireTeapot.
  - stricmp() is replaced by strcasecmp() for UNIX compilation.

* projdesigner/src/Exporter.cpp:
  - The color value is an integer, to avoid many warnings.

* projdesigner/src/ProjectionModel.cpp:
  - ProjectionModel::updateViewAndOffscreens(): 'pChannels' parameter was unused.

* projdesigner/src/glm/glm.c:
  - A fprintf() call is modified to avoid a compilation warning.

* projdesigner/src/gui/QChannelManagerWidget.cpp:
  - QChannelManagerWidget::channelTableHeaderClicked(): checkState is 
    initialised to Qt::Unchecked. This changes nothing, but avoid a compilation 
    warning. 

* projdesigner/src/gui/QDesignViewWidget.cpp:
  - Some implicit casts are resolved, to avoid compilation warnings.
  - bCapsLock was unused, so it is put between the following
    #ifdef/#endif(WIN32). But it really seems to be unused.
