vZome 2.0 Preview Release 2005-03-30

This release is noteworthy for a seemingly minor UI addition: the keyboard shortcuts for "join balls" and "icosahedral symmetry". These make it very easy to quickly build up complex icosahedrally-symmetric models like the 120-cell (hyper-dodecahedron), without resorting to Zomic scripting.

The return of vector graphic output (PDF and SVG) is also an important step toward achieving full 1.0 functionality.
