[VoxBo] voxbo preview release 1.8.5

[Daniel Kimberg]

Hi all.  I'm writing to announce the availability of a preview release of VoxBo 
1.8.5.  This release contains just binaries for Linux, OSX/Intel, and OSX/PPC. 
The code in this release has been running stably at the Penn CfN, and I think it 
will be the most stable VoxBo release yet.

Draft release notes for 1.8.5 are available at:

http://voxbo.org/wiki/index.php/Release_1.8.5

The release itself can be downloaded from the NITRC web site -- click on the 
download link on the following web page:

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/voxbo/

Each archive just contains one directory, within which are all the binaries. 
Run them from there, or put them wherever you like.  No special permissions are 
needed.  For OSX, the graphical tools are in .dmg files, which you will then 
need to unpack separately in the usual way.

The reason I'm releasing this as a "preview" is that I wanted to get some of the 
useful code out there sooner without having to do a lot of the packaging stuff 
associated with a full release.  So for right now, you have to download 
everything in one big archive, even if you just want one binary, and the cygwin 
and older-linux distributions aren't built yet.  Also no source yet.  All of 
these issues will be resolved soon, but in the meantime there's no reason not to 
use it.

Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, bugs to report, or any 
other kind of feedback.  I may not be very responsive to email next week, but I 
will be back the following week, and there's still plenty of time to get new 
features into the final 1.8.5 release.
