JNIWrapper 2.5 Beta for Windows and JExplorer Beta 3
====================================================

http://www.jniwrapper.com

Today we introduce the prerelease of new JNIWrapper 2.5 and a new Beta
version of JExplorer - Beta 3.

New JNIWrapper is the Beta release that covers many important issues
resolved after version 2.4.1 and adds some new features to the
library.

JExplorer Beta 3 released to deliver the general changes we made since
Beta 2 to users who provided their feedback. The JExplorer API was
significantly refactored and greatly simplified since last release.

Check the What's New page to see the detailed list of changes in both
products (http://www.jniwrapper.com/whatsnew.jsp).
