[Nel] Announce: NeL 0.1 is officially out

Wed, 17 Jan 2001 18:49:11 +0100

We are proud to announce the release of the 0.1 version of the NeL
+framework. This framework comprises the NeL library, and a basic client
+and server source for a simple game called Snowballs. The CVS should be 
+updated shortly, and the 0.1 release tagged. We are including the data
+files required for the game separately.
+
+If you are following the CVS regularly, you just have to update,
+download the data archive, compile and run. Otherwise, you may also
+download separately the source tree of the 0.1 release without using
+CVS.
+
+NB: The source archives are packages with CVS data, you may use unpack
+them and use then CVS to update.
+
+We do not provide a pre-built set of binaries, as the 0.1 release isn't
+really representative of the full technology we want to use. The server
+has been tested under Linux, and the client under Windows. If you want
+to use it, there is a demo server running here, on which the client
+connects by default.
+
+For any questions, we have opened a new mailing list dedicated to the
+Snowballs demo game, snowballs@nevrax.org (see on the web site for
+a subscription page). Questions and reports about the client, server,
+or game data themselves should be directed there, while all discussions
+on the NeL library itself should remain under the nel@nevrax.org
+original mailing list.
+
+The archives may be downloaded there from the main page:
+	http://www.nevrax.org/
+
+Note: The zip archive contains the source tree in DOS text format,
+whereas the tar.gz archives contains the source in Unix text format.
+Both should compile equally well, but one might be easier to edit on
+your system.
+
+See you on the snowfields :)
