I thought it was time to get rid of the _hole_ material kludge and replace it with proper holes.
Note that holes created in this version of Wings will not be recognized as holes when loaded in older versions of Wings.
There are also improvements to the Yafray exporter by oort in this release.
Enjoy!

- Clicking the Cancel button in the file dialog for Mac OS X
would cause a hard crash. (Thanks to ycarry.) [bjorng]
- Wings have had the _hole_ material for a long time to fake
holes by marking faces that should not be included when exporting.
This release introduce the command Face|Hole to create a holes
that looks like holes also in the Geometry window.
To remove a hole, select a face adjacent to the hole and RMB
click on the Face|Hole command to create a face to cover the
hole.
When loading old .wings files, all faces containing the _hole_
material will be converted to the new type of hole.
If you load a .wings file saved with this version of Wings in
an old release, the holes will become hidden faces, but they
will NOT have the _hole_ material (i.e. they will not behave
as holes when exported). [bjorng]
- The Turn Edge command will now only turn edges that have
visible faces on both sides. In previous releases, it would happily
turn edges next to invisible faces (even edges making up the
virtual mirror face). [bjorng]
- Face|Extrude (on regions) could be slow if many faces were
selected in a pattern with many inner corners (e.g. the selection
obtained by first selecting a single face and then pressing
"F" repeatedly). [bjorng]
- Palette window: Fixed crash and made the scan command aware
of the selection mode. (Thanks to Fonteboa and Deerwood.) [dgud]
- Added an edge filter. Original idea and code from Ed Kolis. [dgud]
- Yafray exporter:
* Changed default settings for Photon Spotlight.
* Added to Help info.
* Changed type for HDRI from HDRI to Image.
* Added .EXR to HDRI Background file browser.
* Added Prefilter option for Ambient light background. [oort]
