Ambulant 1.0 released

Dear friends of SMIL,

The Ambulant project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.0 
of the Ambulant player.

The player is available at:
  http://www.ambulantPlayer.org/

This version contains full open source for:
   - Linux/Unix (base platform is RH-9)
   - Mac OS X
   - Windows (desktop/tablet)
   - WinCE (pocket PC)
   - Zaurus (Linux PDA)

Several prebuilt versions are also available, as are a suite of demos.

This version represents a significant milestone for open SMIL 2.0 
players; we are confident that this is the most complete, most compliant 
and most comprehensive SMIL player available anywhere and by anybody.

Luckily, the player is not totally bug free (otherwise we'd have a 
boring summer), but to "find 'em and fix 'em" we need your help: please 
report any issues to the Ambulant bugs list.

Note that a number of fixes to the linking and scheduler were integrated 
  just after this version went out the door -- we will be posting an 
update on September 1st to the player, but if you need these features 
earlier, please send us a note (or build from source, where the most 
up-to-date code is always available).

Keep SMILing,

Dick Bulterman
(for Jack Jansen, Kleanthis Kleanthous, Kees Blom and Daniel Benden)
