*******************
3.1: 27 February 2013

Note:
This version requires Max 6.1 or higher.

Improvements:
There's no installer anymore, ejies is package ready! Just drag the folder in one of the packages folders of Max.



*******************
3.0b2: X February 2012

Note:
This version no longer works with Max 5, sorry. It's time to upgrade ;-)

Improvments:
ej.function.js: using Max 6's MGraphics, you'll get at from 2.5x to 10x speed up! plus it's beautiful ;-)
ej.led.js: using Max 6's MGraphics
ej.numbox.js: using Max 6's MGraphics
ej.mout~: uses a bigger window for nicer interpolation
ej.dialog: now has a floating window which allows you to move the dialog around
Installation.command: can take an argument from the command line so you can install ejies anywhere you want (#6)
ej.vdb~ and ej.vdb-sig~: improved efficiency of the windowing (about 2 times faster)



*******************
3.0b1: 3 January 2012

Improvments:
updated Max installer to work properly with Max 5 and Max 6
removed unused old Max 4 inspector patches...
