+Release 2.12 is now available on the [[download:start|Downloads]] page. Below we list the most important new features.  In addition to that we have a number of minor additions and bug fixes.
-  * new client for integer hull computation
-  * interface to Sketch 3D/TikZ
-  * handling of fans with non-trivial lineality space
-  * unification of template parameters
-  * pipe shell
-  * multitude of minor editions and bugfixes
 ==== Integer hull computation ====
-Two scripts simplify the computation of the convex hull of the lattice (integer) points in a polyhedron. The script will be described in more detail in the tutorial [[tutorial:optimization|polymake and Optimization]].

 With the second command one can export a polytope to a sketch input file.  To get the TikZ code just call sketch.
-The interface can handle most of the basic customization options like colors for facets and vertices as well as thickness, transparency, ... (see also [[tutorial:visual_tutorial|Tutorial for Visualization]])

 ==== Pipe shell ====
+polymake can be called from the command line with the option "-".  It then reads commands from stdin and writes the output to stdout.  This is just a fallback if you need to interface to polymake and cannot use the callable library.
