Functional Changes
==================

* HPS::Exchange::File::Import now takes an ImportNotifier as an argument; prior version of the function is deprecated
* Shell faces with transparency are correctly rendered in cases where display lists are enabled, and also in cases where bot display lists and local edge transparency are enabled
* Very large condition trees generated by HOOPS Exchange can now be evaluated where they previously would produce error condition


Documentation Updates
=====================

**Contact Us page added**

Documentation now includes a new :doc:`/contact_us` page, pointing users to helpful links and contacts within Tech Soft 3D for information and product support. This page can be found at the bottom of the table of contents.
