Summary of new features and changes:

New for Beta 2 - Crescendo version 3.0 is now available for the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer!
New for Beta 2 - The Crescendo floating window now contains a menubar.
New for Beta 2 - An option has been added to the Crescendo floating window called "Always On Top", which will keeps your Crescendo window from being hidden. (No more wondering where the Crescendo window went!)
New for Beta 2 - An option to allow or disable auto-detaching has been added to Crescendo.
New for Beta 2 - "Hooks" were added to allow a software wavetable synthesizer to plug into Crescendo - look for a new software synthesizer from LiveUpdate soon! (Get ready for higher quality sound!)
New for Beta 2 - Several bugs were fixed, including problems related to tempo changes (thanks to your feedback and bug reports!)
Crescendo now includes a "Detach" function, which opens a new window for Crescendo and allows the music to continue even after you leave a page containing embedded music. This allows follow-around sound on all web sites!
Crescendo now automatically detaches and floats in a separate window whenever a non-embedded MIDI file is loaded. Prior to Crescendo version 3.0, the Crescendo player would appear in the center of a blank page in this case. (No more looking at blank white pages!)
A "Stop All" menu function has been added, which will stop all running instances of Crescendo.
LiveConnect JavaScript functions have been added (Netscape version 3.0 or greater only.) Now you can build an interactive music web site using Crescendo!
Hooks have been included for future add-in modules (including live MIDI performance - stay tuned!)

Known problems in Crescendo version 3.0 Beta 1 - Fixed in Beta 2

In some cases, both the detached Crescendo player and the embedded Crescendo will display "Waiting for MIDI Device" while another song is playing in the background. To clear this state, use the "Stop All" menu function. Fixed in Beta 2.
On pages which use JavaScript to open a new window for follow-around sound, both the JavaScript window and another detached Crescendo window will be created. Fixed in Beta 2.
