I've tested it on both Radeon r300 and Intel G965 GPUs with current
development drivers on Linux. Both show a marked increase in zoom speed,
but the obvious regressions are a polygon clipping bug (screenshot
attached) and object moving. I guess you have to redraw the whole scene
on any move as XOR doesn't work...

This may not be too valuable report, but I saw the RC1 suffix added...
Are we going to spend some time just fixing open bugs before the release
and do you Jean-Pierre plan to ship WX_ZOOM enabled? Is there any
release day set in stone yet? I'd very much like to get some libs sorted
and also get Øyvind's module work aboard. New release thread might be in
place...

Last but not least, thank you Wayne for this pioneering work. I lost
most of my enthusiasm with wx documentation and because of the lack of
real programming skills. Simple enough and close to metal like AVR
assembly is way funnier to me :)
