World Wind version 1.3 (http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/download.html) is now available for download, as a 171 MB full install or a 2.8 MB source code archive. Because version 1.3 uses a file structure different from previous releases, you should install it in a folder separate from other World Wind versions.
