Greetings colleagues:

Music-to-Knowledge (M2K) Update Release

It is with great pleasure that I announce the release of M2K 1.1 Alpha:
MIREX Edition. This latest M2K release has undergone some significant
debugging and feature enhancements including the addition of framework
itineraries and modules specifically designed for each of the "contests"
in the upcoming Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX).

A summary of key enhancements below:

* Added new file input modules (InputSignals, InputSignalArrays).
* Updated DEMO itineraries to use new input modules (vastly simplifying
itineraries).
* Added MIREX evaluator and file reader modules.
* Added MIREX evaluator test itineraries and test data.
* Added MIREX framework itineraries.
* Updated all itineraries to be based on relative file paths (M2K
itineraries should now work "out-of-the-box" on all platforms).
