Revision as of 18:33, 24 January 2012

We have fixed some bugs and improved the translations in GeoGebra 4. If you have the installed or portable version, you may want to upgrade to the latest revision.
The Translation Tool now allows you to just drag to clone an object!
For network administrators, we now have an MSI Installer for GeoGebra 4 available for testing

decode barcodes and QR codes

You can now connect a Kinect to GeoGebra 4.2 Beta and get real-time 3D coordinates of a "skeleton" in GeoGebra (Windows only, testers needed for OSX and Ubuntu)
The work on HTML5 GeoGebraWeb is going very well. We have now separated out the whole kernel, so that the same code can be used by

GebGebraWeb and GeoGebra 4.2/5.0. We will have something to show soon!

GeoGebra 5 Beta has some improvements (eg angles) and new commands (eg Cube, Octahedron) for 3D geometry.
