1060 days and 1703 commits between the last release and today´s. Countless tons of blood, sweat and code have been put into this. But before I loose myself on such sayings here is what matters most ... the download links!
Download links:
First of all I would like to thank everyone in the team and the ones who helped to make this happen. I would also like to say thank you to the ones who waited impatiently for this release. Nothing keeps up the motivation but a crowd with pitchforks and torches ;-)
