  New features, which are of prime interest to developers, include the start to a plugin system using shared libraries and dlopen(). Furthermore now there is a more convenient way to create new materials and all its properties.

  It is not essential for the rest of the working of 3dom, as the plugins are now in a state of transition and stabilisation. However, if you want to have a look, you should first do:

             mkdir PlugIns/New/RenderPark/include
