We are very happy to announce version 1.1 of CrossOver Plugin.

Version 1.1 adds a number of new plugins and features.  These
changes include:
    *  Windows Media Player Support
    *  Support for multiple user (root) installations
       (This is primarily intended to be used by site
        license customers; we still feel that the per user
        installation method is the safest and most robust
        for 'normal' users).

    *  Support for directly using True Type fonts
       This should allow the viewers to exactly reproduce
       .doc, .xls, and .ppt files just as they render under
       Windows.

    *  Support for the Windows Real Player
    *  Support for Macromedia Authorware Web Player
    *  Support for the Trillian messenging client
    *  Integrated support for Chime, VP3, ModPlug,
       and a range of other plugins that worked with
       1.0.1, but were awkward to install
    *  Support for Galeon, Skipstone
    *  Improved support for Konqueror and Opera
    *  A large number of bug fixes.

A complete change log is included at the bottom of this email
with further details.

All version 1.0.X customers can upgrade to 1.1 for free by
downloading the upgrade script at:
