    MorphUp index file

    From now on PowerSDL updates are distributed via MorphUp and AmiNet. Currently the index file links to AmiNet but in the future there probably are full packages for more convenient updating.

    Changes in SDL libraries are small:

    - enabled AltiVec blitters for HW and SW surfaces (MorphOS 1.5 needed)
    - more fixes to Unicode support
    - faster and better colorkey routines (no custom CGX code anymore)
    - fixed crash in custom SDL_FreeRW() routine (some games didnt work because of it)
    - fixed broken libnix initialization in powersdl_sound.library which could cause random memory trash and other problems
    - powersdl.library bumped to version 11.8
    - powersdl_sound.library bumped to version 1.1
    - included russian locale courtesy of Vinnny.
    - removed C= installer file since it is obsoleted by MorphUp

    Stability should be as good as it was before little buggy 11.6 release.

    Cool release, this is one of the better libs out for MOS I think since it allows for so many great ports. Its just a shame those of us not in the elite few can try the latest 1.5 feature. I think we will in time some day though. For now just enjoy!

    The new version downloaded and installed perfect from morphIP, but where did it p[ut the lha file so I can delete the no longer needed file after it installed? Or does it get deleted on its own?
