Subject: LibXMI 0.1 alpha release

       Heh, looks like today is the day for these announcements... anyway
I have mine too.  LibXMI now builds and installs stubs correctly, and
pixels are drawn on the screen by the demo program in more or less the
correct fashion.
Get it from CVS [see below for instructions /Marcus' note] or at:

http://tanuki.dhs.org/libxmi-0.1a.tar.gz

       Some notes about the release:

* Essentially all of the core XMI code is in default/stubs.  I'm not sure
what to take out yet, and it works fine the way it is for now.

* There's only a simple hardwired six-color LUT for now.  XMI needs to be
made to use ggi_pixels natively.

* The context clashes have been worked around for now by passing visuals
into every function and assuming that it all holds together.  Should be OK
if you don't push it too hard.

* Existing apps which use the old LibXMI will need a bit of retrofitting
but nothing major.

       Those who wanted this, please test it and send me bug reports.

Jon
