Cobalt Updates - Pre Alpha Release
This is a back-dated blog post, due to attending NMC 2008 conference at Princeton.
Learned from Julian's blog, the June update of Cobalt is now available. Kudos to the developers lead by John Dougan and Mark McCahill.

According to Julian, the following features are applied to this update:
- Cobalt can now punch through the NAT firewalls.
- Cobalt now has an OpenAL null device class that will be used if the OpenAL libraries are not installed or if they have a startup problem (special thanks to Mike Klein for this code).
- Hitting the Esc key while the mouse is over the menubar no longer causes the menubar to disappear.
- A patch to make embedded applications work is now integrated into Cobalt.
- "Message not understood" no longer thrown when closing the 3D Painter tool in Cobalt.
- Cobalt's harness classes and their support are partially refactored.
- A race on quitting was removed by carefully timing the Tweak shutdown relative to the morph delete.
- Various packaging clean-ups were done.
- Minor fixes to the ASE import around some of the texture name handling code and more logging to aid in future fixes.
- New code to import a new mesh collection for the avatar (switch avatar functionality) has been updated to handle ASEs as well as the obsolete MDL format.
