* Version 0.1 FINAL Released - Friday, Oct 31, 2003, 5:51 PM EST

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Here it is, version 0.1 of the rewrite! This has been tested pretty well and should be fairly usable. Please test away! I know this isn't userfriendly right now. However, sysadmins should really take a look at it because you can do a whole installation from a config file. Pretty fun. Anyway, work on a GUI is progressing and many new things are ahead for the backend. Please file any bugs and feature requests on our project page. Thanks for everyone's work this far!

OK, they aren't really that bad. However, just exercise caution. Please also do not file bug reports on sourceforge.net yet, wait until there is a final release.
