Dear Javascore User:

Version 5.1 is now out the door.  Fixes several bugs, including bugs in
Snipe and Iceboat scoring, support olympic-path medal race scoring (ability
to "weight" races and ability to flag a race as non-discardable).  Also
improvements and bug fixes to splitting large classes into multiple
sub-divisions for qualifying series.  

This release requires use of Java version 5.  If you don't have Java 5 yet,
click on the "get Java" logo on the left for Windows and Linux.   For
Macintoshes go to:  <http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/java/>
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/java/.

NOTE: the installer program has been modified, for ALL users (Windows, Mac,
Linux) you now execute (double-click)  "JavascoreInstall_v51_03.jar".  And
THEN to run javascore after installing it... double click on "JavaScore.jar"
file in the installation directory.   (Sorry no automatic built-in, cool,
icon or shortcut yet.  Workin' on it).

NOTE: Mac users, the above has been tested successfully on a Mac, but I'm
also working on getting a Mac-specific installation bundle that will better
tie in executing Javascore with Mac OS.  

NOTE: Mac users, for now you have set Javascore up to use the "internal
browser" (see File | Preferences).
