added support for 3 or 4-channel GeoTIFF images
improved handling of OpenGL textures to support high-resolution GeoTIFF images
significant improvements to rendering speed under Microsoft Windows Vista and 7 (and possibly XP and OSX although these rendered quickly before)
changed default projection to plate carrée (equirectangular) projection as it can properly handle all maps
fixed visual artifacts in compass widget under Microsoft Windows Vista and 7
fixed (hopefully!) bug which occasionally caused a map to fail to appear when loaded
modified handling of log file so it works under Microsoft Windows Vista and 7
added additional log statements to help in debugging end users

major bug fixes to OSX version:
- sequences can now be loaded
- layers can now be selected/unselected
- map level-of-detail is now set properly
- numerous cosmetic improvements
implemented dialog which allows user to specify which sequences are active
update dataHelper class to provide functions for placing sequences in the active set
added tree popup menu item to allow the order of points to be reversed
minor bug fixes to tree projection code
various minor bug fixes

added general purpose, user labels
Several extensions to the GenGIS Python API:
- functions to obtain the width and height of the OpenGL Viewport.
- functions for manipulating pie charts
- functions for drawing markers, lines, and labels
- several minor additions
trees of high dimensionality (> 9) can not be optimally laid out for computational reasons, so a heuristic layout is used
fixed memory leak related to incorrect use of Font class
shape maps now save any user modifications
various minor bug fixes

background colour of GenGIS Viewport can be set by user in Study Properties Dialog
improved rendering quality of labels
labels associated with location sites can now be interactively positioned
the contents of the GenGIS Viewport can now be saved as a PNG file using File->Save image as...
added Python function convertGeoCoord() which allows geographic coordinates to be converted into GenGIS Viewport coordinates
added Python function addLine() which allows a user defined line to be rendered in the GenGIS Viewport
added Python function openTree() which allows tree files to be loaded
extended movieHelper.py to include setCameraParam() function
added warning message regarding optimization of leaf nodes for trees with degree > 9
various minor bug fixes
