Omegalib 4.1 Released!

An multiview osg+vtk omegalib 4.1 application has been used to analyse sonar data collected during the NASA ENDURANCE exploration of Lake Bonney, Antarctica.

This version adds experimental support for the Oculus Rift head mounted display through a custom omegalib module, and introduces major improvements to mission control client-to-client communication support.
