[Darwin2k-users] New Darwin2K release (V0.90)

[Chris L. <cl...@te...>]

Hi,

I've released a new version of Darwin2K.  If you're interested, it's at:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/darwin2k/darwin2k-0.90.tar.gz

There are a lot of changes; the biggest one is that you can now have
multiple configurations.  Chris Lee has also made some additions which,
to be honest, I haven't been keeping up to speed with! There's also a
bit more high-level documentation, including instructions on how to make
plugins for Darwin2K.  The CHANGELOG for 0.90 is shown below.
