Version 3.0.0 BETA 1 8/31/2007 (3.0.1)
------------------------------
Initial BETA Relese of Version 3.  
Version 3 was a complete architectural change from 2.6.x.
However, the goal is for 3.0 to be a "drop-in" replacement for 2.6
Developers who have developed an app using 2.6 should not have to do any additional work
to get 3.0 running.  However, 3.0 has several new features that will require some
work if the developer wants to utilize them.  The most obvious change over 2.6 is that 3.0
has no User Interface; instead it runs as a Windows Service.
Here is a list of notable changes in 3.0 as compared to 2.6:
1.	Runs as a Windows Service (no UI).
2.	Supports multiple robots on the same computer. 
3.	Supports Bravo SE (as well as Bravo II/XR/Pro/XRP).
4.	Redundancy feature.  If user has two robots connected and one of gets stopped for some reason (ink low, no discs, etc.) PTBurn can automatically switch the job over to the other robot. 
5.	Merge Text/Photos (for SureThing Printing) can now be specified in the JRQ file (no need to keep the actual merge file). 
6.	Printer settings can now be specified in the JRQ file (inner diameter, print quality, etc.).
7.	Improved fault recovery.  For example, it will recover if the USB cable is unplugged/re-plugged (without restarting the software).
8.	Load Sharing.  It will attempt to use all recorders on the system – not always using the same drive.  For example, on one-off jobs it will alternately use top and bottom recorder. 
9.	User can specify a different filename for the destination file (different than the source filename).
10.	New sample client application (with source code) written in C# showing user how to use PTBurn 3.0 and PTRobot in .NET.  We’re also including a managed DLL for PTRobot (for .NET developers)
