The Windows version is now an auto-extracting executable, which (for now) always installs into C:\SWFTools\. I hope it works on all Windows versions (I tested 98, ME, and 2000).
The Windows development snapshot (swftools-dev) is still a zip archive.

Version 0.6.1 is released. This release fixes quite a number of bugs in pdf2swf and swfc, which were introduced with the 0.6.0 release (which was horribly buggy even for a dot zero version). Also, finally all bounding boxes in the pdf2swf SWFs are right, so they should display faster.

0.5.0 is released (finally!). It includes some nice new features, most importantly H.263 compression support.

Savannah is back up again.
We also have anonymous CVS access back. The path has changed, take a look at the download page on how to access the CVS sources now.

Due to the hacker attacks on savannah last week, CVS and mailing list subscribing, as well as the bugtracker, are currently off-line. According to http:/ /savannah.gnu.org/statement.html they are working on getting the systems back up.
Let's be patient...

SWFTools is now hosted by savannah. This means we now have a shiny new mailing list , anonymous CVS is working again (and browsable via web), and everybody who mails us bugs will be kindly asked to also submit it into the new bugtracker.
Many thanks to the savannah team for making this possible.

avi2swf is finally powerful enough to convert the Matrix Trailer down to 3 MB.
Take a look at
http:/ /www.quiss.org/flash/Matrix.html
The command-line arguments to create this SWF were:

avi2swf -q 25 -x -s 75 -A +0.5 -S 300 matrix_teaser.avi -o matrix.swf
swfcombine -ds 200 -X 960 -Y 416 matrix.swf -o matrix.swf
swfcombine swfdump matrix.swf -XY` PreLoaderTemplate.swf -x 6500 -y 3000 \ 
           loader=tessel_loader.swf movie=matrix.swf

I'll now regularily upload snapshots. Those are on top of the download page ("current development version").

(As its still some time before 0.5.0, and the current version already has so many nice things to play with (swfc, Flash MX h.263 avi2swf, pdf2swf line style support etc.), I figured I had to stop sending out development versions only upon request, per email, to the designated few :))
