Hi All,  
  
The OS X Psychtoolbox 0.6 release is now available for download here:  
[http://www.psychtoolbox.org/osx.html#previewRelease](http://www.psychtoolbox.org/osx.html#previewRelease)  
  
This is a preview release, not yet ready for serious use in research.   
For those giving it a try, I suggest reading and running the new   
scripts DriftDemoOSX.m and MovieDemoOSX.m. These demos explain the   
new OpenGL Screen functions MakeTexture, DrawTexture and Flip which   
replace PutImage, CopyWindow and WaitBlanking.  
  
Looking ahead to the next release, here is what to expect:  
 - Mario Kleiner's shell scripts for setting up Priority merged in and   
documented in the appropriate Psychtoolbox .m files.  
 - Tests which validate the texture functions. They look good but we   
need to read back what is written and match to the original matrix.  
 - New demos which show how to use alpha blending to composite   
displays on the fly, during animation loops.  
 - More of the scripts from OS 9 merged in and tested.  
  
best,  
  
Allen
