Hi Jesse,
   I built the new maintainance release. It built fine on my AMD64
platform using the following command:

scons PREFIX=/usr BUILD_SSE_OPTIMIZATIONS=yes USE_SSE_EVERYWHERE=yes

and as root:

scons install

However when I tried to open an existing session, which may have
possibly been an Ardour 2.0 test session, I got terrible results. No
tracks, etc., and this error window info:

[ERROR]: FileSource: can't read a chunk
[ERROR]: FileSource: cannot locate chunks in
/home/mark/ambient3/sounds/Audio 1-2%L.wav
[ERROR]: SndFileSource: cannot open file "Audio 1-2%L.wav" (System error.)
[ERROR]: Found a sound file that cannot be used by Ardour. See the progammers.
[ERROR]: Session: cannot create Source from XML description.

   I'm not saying this session is important to me. I'm not even sure
what it is. I'm just reporting that the new maintainance release
wasn't happy.

Cheers,
Mark
