Coin 3.1.3 "Buffalo spawn"
==========================

Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies is proud to release version 3.1.3 of
the Coin 3D graphics library. Coin 3.1.3 is a bugfix release. It keeps
binary compatibility with the previous version of Coin (3.0.0), and it
is with only minor exceptions upward source code compatible back to
Coin 1.0.

Coin 3.1.3 does not add any functionality over version 3.1.0.

support the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler.
