[neurosetta] Positron 1.1 Released (No, really!)

[Stan Seibert]

I'm happy to announce that after *mumble,mumble* months, we have
released a new version of positron at:

http://www.xiph.org/positron/

I know it's April Fool's Day, but the only joke (and not the funny kind)
is how long it took to release this version.

Here's the changes:
        * mp3_support option added to permit MP3 support to be disabled.
        Handy for testing firmwares that lack MP3 support.
        * Fixed serious bug that caused deletion of multiple files to be done
        incorrectly.
        * Positron now preserves the access and modification times of files
        when copying them to the Neuros, allowing the use of standard
        synchronization tools like rsync.
        * Major improvement of MP3 detection and parsing code.
        * Vastly improved database sorting, including sorting by track number.
        Note that you will need to use "positron rebuild" to resort your
        existing databases.
        * Database handling fix that forces firmwares after 1.41 to cache 
        the database when it is modified.
        * Informational messages when scanning directories for files so
        you know something is going on.
        * Better error reporting when database directory is not present.
        * Ogg Vorbis support turned on by default.
        * Eliminated warnings in Python 2.3 about character encodings
        in *_zip.py files.

Enjoy!
