[XO Wave-Announce] 0.18.3 released!

[Bjorn Roche]

XO Wavers,

 	I am very pleased to announce XO Wave version 0.18.3. This version 
has lots of new features including the much requested "ripple editing" and 
Query editing modes, as well as some CD burning enhancements and LOTS of 
little things. So many little things that I might well have called this XO 
Wave version 0.19. But I didn't.

 	One more little thing: XO Wave is now Universal. A full change 
list follows my signature, so you can read through it if that suits you. 
Personally, I recommend downloading it from the new and improved site:

Please let me know what you think!
