✨ coin310 ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about coin310 — aka New Features in Coin v3.1.0 💖 this is the manual page coin310(3), and it's a lil highlight reel of everything shiny that landed in Coin v3.1.0. no cap, it's a glow-up list 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

coin310 — New Features in Coin v3.1.0 💅

This is a brief summary of the new features in Coin v3.1.0:

  • Default transparency type for SoGLRenderAction changed from SCREEN_DOOR to BLEND. it's giving soft, it's giving blended, the screen-door era is over ✨
  • SoBase will not keep a list of unnamed / empty named nodes any more. and this is a double slay: it's both an optimization and it improves conformance to SGI / TGS Inventor. two wins, one change, we love to see it 👑
  • SbTesselator does better when handed certain polygons, because the internal calculations got a precision glow-up 🔥
  • Resource usage pressure significantly lower for common case scene graphs with regard to mutex allocations. a not entirely uncommon problem on MS Windows systems for huge scene graphs was that the run-time system ran out of available mutexes — this is now very unlikely to happen. not me fixing the mutex drought fr fr 😭💀
  • Builds with G++ and MSVC will have C++ exception support enabled by default. exceptions are just on now, main character energy ⭐
  • SoSceneManager render callback can be set to NULL to disable it. want it gone? set it to NULL. simple as 🎀
  • Non-power-of-two textures are automatically supported if the OpenGL driver has that feature. if your driver can, Coin will 🦋
  • No other intentional differences in semantics, other than for any bugs fixed. that's it, that's the list, no sneaky extras 🙈
okay so lowkey the vibe check here is: some things did change on purpose, so don't be shocked — but nothing else moved around on purpose beyond the bug fixes. iykyk 🧚

and that's the whole page bestie!! 🍓 this was written for the Coin manual, and the version + date sign-off on this one is: Version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00 💜 mwah, go read the other pages, periodt 💅✨
