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

This major release of BRL-CAD is the first release requiring
compiler support for the C++11 language standard when building.
(This change is not user visible, but will be significant to those
using BRL-CAD in their own software development efforts.)

This release introduces a new "-d" option to the mater command,
supporting direct embedding of .density file information in a
.g database for use by commands such as gqa and rtweight.

Also present in this release are a fix for commands that work with
multiple .g files and support for raytracing MGED scenes with large
numbers of active objects.

A number of commands and tools previously listed as deprecated are
removed in this release, including in particular MGED commands
specific to MUVES.
