xPLRioNet Beta v3.3 Released

["Tony Tofts" <tony@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Have just published version v3.3 at www.xplhal.com

This version supports Slimp3's (includes osd display of menus, but no synch
or tts yet). The shoutcast stuff has been totally rewritten to allow full
url's and to extract meta data from the streams. A few bug fixes have also
been made.

The update package includes a streams.xml as the layout has changed.

Below is the latest (revamped) to do list.

Regards
Tony
