+To stop people unnecessarily downloading the windows installer over and over, the packages will no longer include the installer. If you have a pre-XP

+download the installer seperately from the links at the top of the page.<br>

+Fixed a few bugs in theora, seeking almost never crashes now. FLAC playback and seeking now works properly, though not extensively tested. Includes a FLAC encoder filter. Starting from the
+next release I will start offering different build configurations, ie minimal decode only installation, builds with SSE2 optimisations etc.<br>

 <b><u>Previous Version (0.60.7043) - 08/07/2004</u></b><br>
 Quite a fair bit added this time, most notably an encoder for theora... see <a href="http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/enc_theora_graphedit.html">Encoding theora</a><br>
 Only a few encoding parameters are currently exposed via a filter property page. Also modified the demuxer so it can handle http streams though there are some issues. The buffering is very simple, it doesn't optimise buffer based on bandwidth. Network steams are currently non-seekable. Also only non-chained

 	<li>Seeking very close to the end of speex or vorbis files, causes all audio to cease, requiring stop/play to resolve. Particularly noticable in small files, seems roughly 5 secs from end where this occurs.</li>

+<b><u><font size="+2">SSE/SSE2 Experimental Builds of Directshow Filters for Ogg Vorbis, Speex, Theora and FLAC</font></u></b><br>
+<br>
+These are experimental builds only... if you have any doubt about whether your processor supports these, download the official release from the <a href="http://www.illiminable.com/ogg">main page</a><br>
+<br>
+These builds are specific to SSE and SSE2 compatable processors. If you run these on the wrong processor they will crash the program and maybe even your system. If in doubt don't use them !<br>
+<br>
+SSE2 instructions are for Pentium 4's. SSE instructions are for some Pentium 3's and Athlon XP's. None of the old athlons support them. Also note, I only have Athlons, so I haven't tested the SSE2 builds at all. If you use these and they work, I'd appreciate if you let me know. 
+I have found about a 15% improvement in encode speed using the SSE builds on my machine. If you do some testing on your machine let me know. Uninstall the normal/previous version before installing these.<br>
