Development News: GeoGebra 4.2 Beta

• GeoGebra 4.2 Beta now has a Barcode Command so that you can encode and decode barcodes and QR codes
• You can now connect a Kinect to GeoGebra 4.2 Beta and get real-time 3D coordinates of a skeleton in GeoGebra (Windows only, testers needed for OSX and Ubuntu)
• The work on HTML5 GeoGebraWeb is going very well. We have now separated out the whole kernel, so that the same code can be used by GebGebraWeb and GeoGebra 4.2/5.0. We will have something to show soon!
