4.	X3D-Edit 4.0 release.  We've published our second formal release on
SourceForge.  Thanks for all test reports, feedback is always welcome.
There have been 363 downloads so far and we've received the "Up and Coming"
award from SourceForge.  Most stable versions so far are zip for Java (any
OS), Apache Netbeans module (any OS), and Mac installer.  The X3D-Edit
Pre-Release directly supports intermediate improvements between numbered
releases.  The journey continues.
