Revolution 2.5 Release Candidate 2

[Mark Chia]

Hi Folks, 

Release candidate 2 is now up for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

A few things to note:

You won't be able to access any of the external web browser links in
this yet, as they point to the updated web site which is currently
password protected as it gets finished.  The new site will go live when
we launch.

The content for the Learning Center is still not finished.  This is
something we can update online without having to release another version
of the product.  It will be up over the next couple of days.  The
installation process now detects if the correct video codec has been
installed.

The keys needed to unlock this release have not changed since beta 2. 
Note that the store and key generation systems will be taken up and down
throughout the weekend as we upgrade them in final preparation for
release. Please do not email support if you are unable to get a key from
the system because it is down - support does not have access to the
system when it is down either.  Apologies in advance for any
inconvenience, this disruption is unavoidable and will create a better
system for all.

We're aware of an issue in the Documentation freezing for a minute or so
when accessing it with Web Notes turned on at the same time as
downloading a video from Rev Online.  We'll probably patch this in a
minor rebuild before we ship.

The Sample Stacks that used to be shipped with the product will be
included on the updated site as an optional download, this is so that
the new Sample Projects, which are carefully designed and commented for
learning, are the ones that new users are pointed to.  We will also be
including the new Externals SDK on the updated web site when it goes
live.

At this time we are no longer able to respond to minor glitches or
annoyances reported.  This is because we must change as little as
possible in any rebuild to ensure we don't introduce any new issues.

Please do not give these URLs out.  Classic is still to follow.
