IRMP3 / News: Recent posts

The first release for a while with a new project maintainer (Michael Behrisch <behrisch@users.sourceforge.net>), only a few new features (see the ChangeLog), and a fresh subversion repository. It is considered a quite stable version, although we cannot test on many platforms.

Have fun with it!
