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.
