----------------------------------------------------------------------

Among a variety of bugs fixed, the patch corrects a critical error in
BoT triangle mesh ray tracing.  For improved performance, it also
changes the default frame buffer display behavior to fully buffer ray
tracing images instead of displaying them incrementally.  A variety of
MGED commands see improvements too with 'ls' now supporting listing
objects by their on-disk size and the 'simulate' command applying
forces on objects (e.g., gravity) with greater ease.  Not yet
complete, there is a new interface being developed for resolving
overlaps more efficiently, currently under development and usability
testing with select users.  Lastly, a number of dependencies were
upgraded, including Tcl/Tk, in order to patch security vulnerabilities
