New features, Release, Installer

Have finally rolled Croquet into a Nullsoft installer package,
which works great of Windows users. Have continued to release .zip files
for cross-platform users.

New release out:
here.

It notably includes two new sample galleries which are content-lite & -heavy, and a demo of the animated pointcloud tele-immersion stuff.


Just added ability to zoom-to an object, similar to TWindow's (but without facing you "in front" of the object, just close to the object.) it works nicely. Thanks to Ed Boyce for lighting a fire under that one.

Also added ability to put Markers on TPrimitives. This was also thanks to Ed, who is using the Sphere primitives to model a solar system, and i realized that one might want to annotate a planet.

Animated point clouds have been added with pre-calculated geometrical summaries. Am beginning work on networking to dynamically pull in tele-immersion data.


Am at work now on an input dialog for Primitives,
to allow numerical placement. - Will probably generalize that for TGalleryBase objects.
