s3d project is a 3D network display server which can be used as a 3D desktop environment.

There are several reasons for this project, one of the most influencing
ones is boredem. i'm bored and blessed with too much time, and my gpu is bored as well with all this computing power which remains unused on common desktops.

I think a 3d desktop would/could be a very interesting thing (when it works, since it gives so many new possibility's in GUI design (or possibilitys in confusing users, depends on readers view).

There are/were other projects like 3dwm which died somehow (3dwm.org is not accessable, for me), and I did not understand it's system thou ... looking glass from sun seems to be very interesting too, but I haven't tried it out yet ... so my ignorance and stupidity were reasons for this project as well.

What's New in This Release:
Libg3d now reads lots of different 3D model formats.
Olsrs3d has some new features like searching for nodes.
A new widget library was added, which gives some nice 3D windows in the 3D space.
