Hi all,

as some of you already might have noticed there are a few new updates on 
the Squeakland site and the mailing list system was improved.

There are new installers for Windows and Mac OS-9. Mac OS-X will be up a 
little later. Remember, you can always update your current installation 
by simply loading any project on the Squeakland site.

Mailing list changes:
-the message archive now also supports images
-posts by newly subscribed list members are now moderated (held until 
approved by us) until we can verify they are not spammers. Yes, it is 
that bad!

But now some good news :-)

- Bug fixed that could result in the loss the viewer for an object

- Sounds used in a project are now stored with the project

- A Quit button was added at the tail end of the nav-bar, the NEW button 
was moved to the beginning of the nav-bar

- There is a new trail-style called 'dots'
- Terminology changes:
   - 'arrows' is now 'arrowheads'
   -  'lines and arrows' is now 'arrows'.
- 'dotSize' variable governs size of dot.  Defaults to 6, the smallest 
size at which dots start seeming round, but the user can set it to any 
value between 1 and 100.

- New item in the Supplies bin: a translucent, borderless Rectangle in a 
sequence of 6 colors


Enjoy and let me know if you encounter any problems!

Michael
