Up to Product page
Systems in Motion is proud to release v2.5.0 of the Coin 3D graphics library. Coin 2.5.0 is a minor release. It extends the functionality of previous versions of Coin 2.* in upward compatible ways. It also fixes bugs and problems found in releases 2.0.0 through 2.4.6, and includes updates to the documentation.
