Thanks to all of you, beta testing
of Windows Media 9 Series has been going extremely well. Feedback from the public
newsgroups and listservs has helped us to identify and fix numerous bugs since our
last beta release (build 2800) in late September. To help ensure a rock-solid
Final release, we made the Release Candidate of the Player, Encoder, and SDK publicly
available on the web tonight (Oct 31, 2002) so that you can test these components
in your environments. There are a number of new features of note in the Player that
are detailed at the bottom of this post. Be sure to read the
player and
encoder release notes to see what’s new and a list of all known issues and workarounds,
and please continue to post your feedback (feature requests and bug reports) to
the
appropriate
beta newsgroup so that we can gather and act on your input
