-    the deprecates the original osg::Texture.  All Texture class, including
-    TextureCubeMap are derived from new base class for textures - osg::TextureBase.

+    Despite only 6 weeks passing between 0.9.0 and this latest 0.9.1 release

     New osgtexture1D and osgtexture3D demos demonstrate the new texture classes in
     action.
