<p>
Version 0.5.0 of ScummVM, the classic adventure game interpreter, has just been
released. This is our most tested version yet, thanks to everybody who answered
our call for testing. Thanks!
</p>
<p>
So what's new? Well, besides the usual bugfixes and improvements are:
<UL>
<LI>Extensive overhaul of the music subsystem, more games now support music
<LI>Support for the Enhanced (V2) versions of Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken
<LI>Support for Beneath a Steel Sky, made possible thanks to Revolution Software supplying us with the original assembly source code!
<LI>Aspect Ratio correction added, by popular request
</UL>
</p>
<p>
A link to the release notes and a more detailed list of changes can be found over on
the <a href="http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php">downloads page</a>, along with
the downloads... and our special (worst kept secret :) suprise!
</p>
<p>
As an extra SPECIAL bonus, the really really wonderful people at Revolution
Software Ltd have decided to allow us to make Beneath a Steel Sky *freeware!*
You can download either the CD version (70M, includes speech) or the smaller
Floppy version (8M), along with ScummVM 0.5.0, from the download page.
</p>
<p>
Enjoy!
