[e-lang] E Download News: bad and good

[Mark S. Miller]

The Subversion server at svn.synchrona.org is currently down, and is expected 
to stay down till 12/30/06. This is the server used to maintain the E-on-Java 
source tree and the erights.org website.

The latest official E release is still available at the download page at
<http://erights.org/download/0-9-0/>. However, if you plan to make submittable 
changes to the source tree, you may want to wait until the Subversion server 
is back up.

At the 0-9-0 download page, besides the usual downloads, we have E releases 
built for linux-motif, linux-gtk, and mac-ppc (Mac OS X). Of these, only the 
first works with SWT. (Kevin, when Subversion is next up, could you commit 
your fixes so that E on the Mac works with SWT. If you do so, I'll be sure to 
test it on my Mac before releasing it. Thanks.)

On future E download pages starting with 0-9-1, I will no longer list 
placeholders for these other downloads. I have rarely built and posted these 
in a timely manner anyway, and E always seems to build fine from sources on 
all these other platforms. If you have noticed problems building E on other 
platforms, please let me or e-lang know. Thanks.
