Public Beta 2.1

We are working towards Datasoul 2.1.

The major change is the replacement of gstreamer-java by vlcj. Advantages include:

• Better performance for video and video background (We've run Full HD video as background in a AMD Athlon X2)
• Easier installation, as all libraries are shipped with installation package. No more need to install gstreamer separately for Windows users
• MacOS support out of the box

It should run under:

• Windows with updated Java. Highly encouraged Java 7
• Linux with vlc 2.0 and Java 7 (mandatory)
• MacOS 10.7

The public beta is a pre-release version for testing. It probably contain bugs and should NOT be used in production. Please feel free to download, test and report success/errors to us
