Development
Rhino was originally distributed as a free, closed-source, open beta. A broad community of users whose input debugged and added features to the program developed as a result.
The development is on-going; version 5.0 released in November 2012. Development of a Mac OS X version is in progress; beta version is available on request. Rhino owners can download the latest beta versions and participate in the development process.
Free trial versions are available for download. They have all features of the complete version except that you can only save your drawing up to 25 times. After that, the trial version will still be functional but won't save or load third-party plugins, making it a good program for viewing different file formats and sketching.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality.
And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
