Hello all,

zita-audiotools-1.3.0 and zita-jacktools-1.6.0 are now available at
<http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html>.

If you have previous versions, installing these updates will require
some extra work. This is for two reasons:

* The python package names have changed:
    audiotools -> zita_audiotools
    jacktools  -> zita_jacktools

* The setup.py files now use setuptools instead of the deprecated
  distutils, and will install a python 'egg' directory.

This requires the following actions:

* Before installation, remove all traces of any previous versions
  from your python site-packages directory. Then just make; sudo
  make install; sudo make clean.

* In existing applications, the import statements must be modified
  to refer to the new package names.


Thanks to Marc Lavallée for both suggesting the name change and
testing the new releases.


Ciao,
