Huge thanks to all the feedback from the beta 2 testers.

Beta 3 is now available at:
http://www.edjo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/edward/xAP/Slim/slim_downloads.htm

Change Log:

beta3
14/11/06

Changed open_port in Comm.pm to use INADDR_LOOPBACK, INADDR_BROADCAST and
INADDR_ANY
rather than localhost, 255.255.255.255 and 0.0.0.0

Added configuration entry for xAP broadcast address. Defaults to
INADDR_BROADCAST.

Removed restriction in Slim_Item.pm and SlimServer_Item.pm that messages
need to be targetted.
BSC messages remain requiring a target as per spec.

Now tries 'no hub' mode before trying to connect to hub (Plugin.pm and
Comm.pm),
so should work without a hub.

Determined that CRC.pm should not be included in the distribution (required
functions in Comm.pm).

Fixed issues en-queuing and de-queuing display messages.

Removed attempt to force brightness on display messages;
SlimServer v6.5 reverts to pre-set message brightness on next display
refresh.

Tidied up web settings. Used in-line HTML to work around default skin CSS
line spacing issues.
Only tested with default skin.

Persist player subID values in player preferences.
Once an ID is allocated to a player it will keep that ID across restarts.
Previously done
on a first come (connect) first served basis at startup.

Fixed null pointer issue in song/transport data when no current playlist
exists for player.
