Hello list,=20
and here's version 2.3.5. Not too many changes, but still enough to=20
warrant a new release.
I also want to use this opportunity for the following:
<*****IMPORTANT NOTICE*****>
Ecasound website address has changed. The new address is=20
http://www.eca.cx/ecasound
This replaces the old (but still functional) website at
http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/. Note that also all the subpages
have been modified. I've added some redirect pages, but the old site will
only be available for a limited time. Please update any links that point
to the old website.
And also, my email address has changed (see from).
