Gamut version 0.4.1-20070810 Built Fri Aug 10 12:05:22 2007 Release Notes This is a beta release of Gamut, a graphical client for the Volity game platform. We're still working on it, but it is complete enough to both play existing games and to use as a Volity game development tool. Primary features include: * Basic Jabber functionality ** Maintain a roster of your buddies ** Chat privately, or in chat rooms * Basic Volity functionality ** Use the Game Finder to create or join Volity tables ** Play games using SVG/ECMAScript UI files ** Invitation system (recently improved)s ** Summon bots to provide automated competition * Extended Volity stuff ** View players' game records and profiles ** The beginnings of a Volity.net website (linked to throughout the app) For more information on Gamut, including resources such as mailing lists and a development wiki, see the project's homepage at . Information about the Volity project in general may be found at . Volity game developers will also find a useful tool in Testbench, an offline development environment for the SVG/ECMAscript UI files that Gamut uses. See http://www.volity.org/wiki/index.cgi?Testbench for more information. Happy hacking! -- Jason McIntosh March 23, 2006
