Full documentation and release notes for v. 1.0 are in 'saolc.pdf'.

The current distribution 2.0 contains three major updates to v. 1.0:
1) it includes the saolcprof profiler tool for conformance testing;
2) it includes fixes and enhancements in accordance to corrigenda 1 and 2
3) it contains up to date project files for Windows and Linux OSs

Minor bug-fixes and updates are also included. Documentation for the
use of saolcprof are contained in Annex B of the MPEG-4 Conformance document.

The distribution is organized in three directories:
1) source: contains the source code that is in common for all OSs, i.e.
nearly all the C/C++ files
2) windows: contains the project files for Visual .NET development
environment, executables to generate and open normative mp4 files and
batch files to automatically deal with generation and execution of 
mp4 files to/from sasi files (managed by saolc/saenc/saolcprof programs)
3) linux: contains Makefile for Linux; executables and batches equivalent
as for Windows are under preparation and will be available with v. 2.1
soon.

Separate README files in windows and linux directories explain how to
build saenc, saolc and saolcprof in the two cases and how to deal with
mp4 files using these programs and the distributed support executables.
