We have released a new version, 500, of "Jun for Java".

 This is a sort of major version up containing some incompatible
 changes.

 The major changes since the version 499 includes:

   * (incompatibility) No more 'Java 2 Platform, Standard
     Edition, 1.3' support.

   * (incompatibility) The package name is changed from 'sra.*'
     to 'jp.co.sra.*'.

   * (incompatibility) The JNI library names are changed. The
     OpenGL interface "jun4java" is renamed to "JunGL" and the
     QuickTime interface "JunQT4Java" is now just "JunQT".

   * (incompatibility) The initial/default projection settings
     of JunOpenGL3dModel is changed.

   * You may choose 'QuickTime for Java' to handle multimedia
     besides our own JNI library. The default on Mac OS X is
     'QuickTime for Java'.

   * On Linux, you can now render in double buffer mode by
     disabling a stencil buffer explicitly. You can't change a
     visual of a Java created window, which has 0 bit stencil,
     anyway.

   * Use the new menu framework introduced in StPL7.0.

   * Use the new multi-language framework introduced in StPL7.0.
