  ** "FaceNormals" and "VertexNormals" for patch and surface graphic
-    objects are now calculated automatically if necessary.  The
+    objects are now calculated only when necessary to improve graphics
+    performance.  In order for any normals to be calculated the
     "FaceLighting" property must be set to "flat" (FaceNormals) or
     "gouraud" (VertexNormals), AND a light object must be present in the

- ** Printing to raster formats now uses an opengl based method by default.
-    The print options "-opengl" and "-painters" have been added (for "qt"

-    "renderermode" are now also used when printing.
