The Mongoose is loose!
We're very proud to present to you the first public release of the
Mongoose project, IRIS Performer 2.3 Beta 1.0 for Linux. This release
comes to you after much development work by the IRIS Performer team
and has been tested on a variety of Pentium-based systems running Red
Hat Linux 6.0. Please see our web site for all the details and downloads:
http://www.sgi.com/software/performer/linux.html
Downloading the software is free. You'll need a SurfZone ID, which
can be obtained by registering at the site (also free).
We'd also like to invite you to meet our new mascot, Rocket Tux.
IRIS Performer 2.3 Beta 1.0 for Linux is fully API-compatible with
existing IRIS Performer applications and is a full distribution,
including the core run-time libraries and file loaders, development
header files, sample source code, and manual pages. This is a BETA
release, so we expect bugs to be found and we welcome your input as
we continue our work in preparation for the final release. This Beta
release is primarily intended as a usable development and porting
platform and we will use your feedback to make changes for the final
productized version of IRIS Performer 2.3.
To report bugs, send feedback, submit patches, or reach the IRIS
Performer team directly, send mail to mongoose-feedback++at++corp.sgi.com.
Please note that we have anticipated many of the questions you might
have, and we have found in our testing many of the problems you will
come across. Please review the bug list and FAQ before sending
questions or submitting any bug reports:

Thank you, and enjoy the Beta 1.0 release.
