Come on now. Please look a bit before jumping all over us.The new 
features are there. Event Editing, Local On/Off, Input Rechannelize are 
all there plus a lot more. Just spend a few more minutes with it and 
you'll find them.

Yes, the 'new features' list and the addendum on the download page 
hasn't been updated yet - we'll get there. The currently posted addendum 
is still the one for the 1.01 release. But the new features *are* in the 
posted download. We thought that you'd be happy to get the download as 
soon as it was ready - even if the documentation isn't quite ready yet.

Note we never said that USB support was going to be in this release. But 
also note that the 1.17 code actually does have the USB support in it - 
we just have to get the Host drivers ironed out. (actually the drivers 
are working, there are still some issues with their installation) Making 
USB work with Win* is a quite a bit harder than we all had hoped. But it 
*will* be coming real soon.

Geesh.
