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).
</*****IMPORTANT NOTICE******>
