Dear experts,

I have uploaded a new release of the JM reference software to my web
site at:

http://iphome.hhi.de/suehring/tml/

The main change in this version is a major code cleanup which removes nearly all
global variables from encoder and decoder. This version also contains a number of bug
fixes.

We have added work spaces for Visual Studio 2009 and Xcode (based on the workspaces
contributed by Christian Schmidt).

Please see below for the detailed list of changes.

Best regards,
Karsten
