A minor update to Unity 2 is now available. The update includes bug fixes,
minor improvements, and the ability to serve policy files directly from
Unity to movies running Flash Player 7.0.19.0 and later. Policy files allow
cross-domain connections to Unity and connections to ports under 1024.
(Prior to Flash Player 7.0.19.0, cross-domain connections required policy
files to be served over HTTP, and connections to ports under 1024 were
completely forbidden, even with a policy file.)

For more details on what's new in 2.0.1, see the release notes, below. More
information about serving policy files from Unity is posted here:
http://www.moock.org/unity/docs/server/policyserver.html

Licenced Unity 2 owners have been sent instructions on obtaining the upgrade
for free. If you own Unity 2 but have not received your instructions, please
email unity@moock.org.

If you have any questions about the release, please post them to the list.
