Subject: Tritonus 0.1.82 available

Hi,

Tritonus, the open-source inplementation of JavaSound for Linux, has a
new release. Major reasons for this release are:

Easier Installation
-----------------------

There is now a 'configure' script that automatically determines most
parameters important for the build process. Installation is now mostly
now follows the configure - make - make install pattern.

Support for jdk1.1.x
--------------------

Tritonus now builds and runs with jdk1.1.x. It has been tested with
Blackdown jdk1.1.7_v3 and jdk1.1.8_v1. In jdk1.1.7(a?) there are bugs in
javac that prevent compilation. Generally, you need the 1.1 collection
framework from http://web2.java.sun.com/beans/infobus/ (near the bottom
of the page).
Many thanks go to Peter Pilgrim who did the main work for this by
writing a script that converts the collection classes' package names.
Additionally, he detected and fixed many small bugs.

Other goodies
-------------

There are several improvements under development and/or waiting for
merge into the main source tree.
- Midi support: see file README.midi
- MP3 decoder: see file README.mp3
- Format converters/codecs (thanks to Florian Bömers)
- pure-java client-side library for esd (thanks to Atsuhiko Yamanaka)


The latest version is downloadable from (see "File Releases"):
http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=1390

There are now daily development snapshots og Tritonus at 
ftp://tritonus.sourceforge.net/pub/tritonus/.
