I released SaVi 1.2.7 today, making the new spherical projection available in a release. That projection still has a few rough edges: calculation of selected point longitude for fisheye use is incomplete, and the bitmap maps could be captured from rendering in Geomview itself and much improved. But available time and lack of inclination are currently against me; I think I've exhausted myself on SaVi until the Christmas holiday.

Update: Despite my previous expectations, Cory Doctorow, member of the BoingBoing editorial team, remains unable to recognise a ludicrous article when he sees one. This is despite his previous acknowledgement of Phil Gyford's entirely valid criticisms of BoingBoing, where neither the acknowledgement nor the original criticisms go far enough. The generation of BoingBoing articles in their entirety from quoted material in a transparent attempt to avoid responsibility for editorial accuracy is entirely underwhelming. (Thanks, Leo!)
