>>Can take advantage of VBE 3.0 features (triple buffering).
>>Video bitmap functions for organising offscreen vram.

>>True 16 bit interpolated sample mixing, with up to 64 channels.
>>Driver for ESS AudioDrive soundcards.
>>New joystick driver system and more flexible API.

>>Better polygon routines (hicolor, truecolor, MMX optimisation).
>>Improved localisation support (keyboard mappings and translation).
>>Plugin architecture makes it easy to customise the grabber tools.
>>Added RTF docs, a new help.txt file, cross-references in the Info docs.
>>Five new example programs.
>>Many other portability improvements and bug fixes.
