attached):
* Light point strings using the REPLICATE opcode should now be supported
(>=15.6?)
* Directional lights should now work as in Performer using a viewing
frustrum defined by a direction vector, horizontal angular width, vertical
angular width, and roll angle about the direction vector. The current
directional light implementation had some bad assumptions which caused
problems with direction vectors not on the XY plane.
* IVE and OSG reader/writers were updated as appropriate"
"Changes to provide rudimentary support for OF 15.8 light point
animation palettes. This change also includes light point palette override
support for external references. This is the last of my code changes to
support OF 15.8 in the flt loader. Barring bugs, of course, knock on wood.
The gist of the animation palette code is to create ref_ptr'd
osgSim::BlinkSequence objects for each palette entry, and then pass them on
to osgSim::LightPoint for any OpenFlight light points that reference that
palette entry. This should be conservative of memory (not that I expect the
animation palette to be extremely large)."
direction normal has a zero length. The net effect is that unidirectional
light points with zero length direction vectors are now treated as
omnidirectional light points."

Fixed crash associated with .osg files which contain empty description fields.
From Sondra Inverson, added support to .ive plugin for osgSim::DOFTransform.
From Alberto, changed the use of the DynGeoSet to it was querried on demand
rather than used as a pointer which was originally being invalidate before
use.
PositionAttitudeTransform, removed the equivialnt callbacks once found in these
transform classes.
Changed the NodeCallback class so its derived from osg::Object instead of
osg::Referenced to allow it to be saved out in the .osg format.
Added support for Update and Cull callbacks into the .osg file format.
Added support for AnimationPathCallback into the .osg file format.
