Additional notes regarding TS3 Client Beta 21:
-------------------------------------------------
* It has been ~1.5 months since our last stable client release, which has
resulted in a massive amount of updates for the new client (the final
changelog will be over 150 lines!).  As usual, the final changelog will be
published to http://forum.teamspeak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=90 upon release.

* We fixed multiple crashes, and we are very interested in any crashes you
might experience with the new client.  Please post any new crash-dumps to
http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php?t=46880

* We renamed Token" to "Privilege Key". We hope the new name will give new
users a better mental image of what exactly this functionality is used for.

* Some users (mostly dial-up or non-broadband) had problems with the
bandwidth requirements that TeamSpeak 3 demands (higher than in TeamSpeak
2), for these users we added the new delay parameter in the codec setup. It
essentially allows you to reduce the bandwidth demands at the cost of the
speed at which your transmissions are received. For example to have the same
bandwidth usage as TeamSpeak 2 did you could go with (Speex 8kHz, Quality 7,
Delay 100ms). The default value is a delay of 20ms which is the same
behavior as in previous TeamSpeak 3 releases.

* "Commander" like whisper functionality is now possible: Simply create a
new channel group (e.g. name it "Channel Commander"). Then go into the
whisper list setup, and add a hot-key to whisper to this new channel group -
that's all it needs.

* From this release forward there will be two "branches" of releases from
which you can chose: The default is the "stable" branch which only contains
well tested versions. The alternative is the "beta" branch which will give
you the newest cutting edge client releases that might not have been tested
as much yet. To tell your updater to use releases from the beta branch you
need to run the updater once, then edit the configuration file "update.ini"
and add the following code into this file:
