Good to see a release of a new version. However I saw no note of Uwe
Woessners patch for YUV support. Could you include that patch? It would
make it all a lot easier for many people.

Hi people,

This is a note of the availability an ARToolKit release. This version 
is numbered 2.69.

The release and the full read me is available at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/artoolkit/
under "File Releases"

There are a variety of minor changes since the last bug-fix release 
2.68.2. Please see the release notes for more information.

The release is currently source-only, with an additional source + 
binary for the Windows video input library, DSVideoLib.

At this stage, the release should still be considered beta; as bugs 
come up, please post in the SourceForge bug tracker. This will be the 
preferred forum for bug reports in future.

The source for this release is now also in the Sourceforge ARToolKit 
CVS repository, and may be checked out using anonymous CVS. Set your 
CVSROOT to $ :pserver:anonymous@c .........:/cvsroot/artoolkit to 
access the repository.

There are many additions and enhancements for ARToolKit in the works 
here at the HIT Lab NZ, including complete documentation, a revamp of 
the existing examples and several new ones, several enhancements to 
the Linux video library, and an updated version of the VRML renderer 
for ARToolKit.

Thanks to all the contributors to this release.

Regards,

Peter,

This is one of the Linux fixes mentioned in the release notes, which 
one of my collaborators here at the HIT Lab NZ (Raphael Grassat) has 
been working on. As we needed a proper CVS repository to generate the 
diffs against, we decided to get the current source base into CVS and 
to simultaneously release as a source archive. You can expect to see 
that patch applied quite soon.

Regards,
Phil.
