2004-10-08 release 0.7.0 "Size matters"
       * Added new GraphBuilder which automatically creates a flow graph from a given URL.
         It also allows to create a distributed flow graph and to play back audio and video
         on distributed hosts or to access remote sources. See the hellographbuilder examples at
         http://graphics.cs.uni-sb.de/NMM/current/Docs/helloworld/index.html for more information.
       * Multimedia-Box:
         - Playlist uses the new GraphBuilder for audio and video play back.

           to search easily the epg information for your favorite program via remote control.
           the corresponding key assignment can be found here
           http://graphics.cs.uni-sb.de/NMM/current/Docs/mmboxcontrol/index.html

	 for further information
       * Replaced most of our examples by graph descriptions.

         can be used to realize a distributed video wall.
       * Updated IceCastNode to latest icecast version
       * Introduced a thread pool which improves the network performance for instream and out of band
         communication.
