      • Use BTK 0.1.9.
    • Fixes:
      • List of markers stated as visible into the model pane is wrong under Windows 7 64-bit (issue 14)
      • If the unit for the markers is set to meter in the first loaded acquisition, then the coordinates are not correctly scaled.
      • In some case in the 3D perspective view, the camera is translated instead of rotated when switching from another application (using the key sequence Alt + Tab).
      • Checker of update can be wrongly triggered with alpha release number.
      • (MacOS X only) Under MacOS X, the shortcut Command + M is used to minimize the application. The shortcut used to view the model panel is now set to Command + Shift + M (only under MacOS X).
