[jsyncmanager-open] jSyncManager 2002-12-11 pre-beta released.

[Brad B. <bba...@js...>]

Hi Everyone:

	This is just a short note to inform you that I've released
todays nightly build of the jSyncManager, featuring the new USB sync
support, to SourceForge.  Those interested in downloading this new
release should visit:

		http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsyncmanager

	Please be sure to read the release notes for the release, as
there have been some changes from the previous releases.  There is also
an important issue that Linux users should be aware of if they wish to
use the new USB synchronization mechanism.

	Note that USB sync support requires that you install the jUSB
API for your platform onto your system.  This is available through
http://jusb.sourceforge.net.  It is available for Linux, Windows, and
MacOS at this time.

	Note as well that we're considering this a pre-beta release. 
There is still much work to be done before the next official release
(currently scheduled for March 2003), however we felt that this release
works sufficiently well as-is that we'd make it available to the public
so they could test and use the new USB support.  This also opens up the
project to users and developers who, not having a serial dock or serial
IR port, were unable to use its data synchronization capabilities.

	If anyone has any questions about this pre-release, please feel
free to post them to our help forum on SourceForge, via the above
listed URL.
