1.7.2 is quite a version. It includes support to load an MP3 directly in your animation file. At last...
There were fixes for 64 bits processors provided by a user (see AUTHORS.txt).
The configure script supports being run in a different directory than the one were you decompressed the tarball.
As I was at it, I [finally] split the large libsswf_tags.c++ file into something like 23 files and guess what... some are still over 1000 lines of code!
Also, several fixes for Big Endian machines. That means Mac OS/X, Linux on Power and IRIX users.
Finally, several new packages: Linux on Power RPM, Debian package for Debian (imagine that!) and a .tgz package for Slackware to be installed as is on your Slackware 9 or 10.
Okay... well check out the CHANGES.txt file for more details and let me know if you have any problem with the new packages.
Enjoy!
