[Beecher, K. <Kar...@fu...>]

Saros - Distributed Party Programming for Eclipse
=================================================

The Saros Team is proud to announce the release of version 11.9.30. This 
release brings you a couple of cool new features. 

First up is "needs-based synchronisation" and very useful feature for those 
of you collaborating on very large projects. With Saros you can already 
choose to share a subset of files with your peers, so that you don't have 
to spend time sharing huge amounts of data, but this meant that if you 
wanted collaborate on unshared files, they needed adding manually to the 
session. Now, with needs-based synchronisation turned on, Saros will monitor 
the files you work on; when you begin editing an unshared file, Saros will 
instantly and automatically share the file with everyone in the session.

And secondly, we've greatly expanded the functionality offered by the shared 
whiteboard. With Saros you can draw lines, arrows, write text and add a
nnotations to your shared sketches. You can even draw in different colours to 
make clear who drew what!

Additionally, you will find some important fixes. Check out the changelog below.
