Ok, it's done. It's been tested to death by me, and I can't
break it. We still have a long way to go for some of the
really cool features, but that stuff can wait for later
revisions. I'm very happy with how this release looks.

I'm about to jump on a plane back home, and then I'll
be without network access until Monday, as I'm speaking
(about powertweak) at the UKUUG conference in Manchester, UK.
So any fatal bugs will have to wait until then, but this is
looking like the most solid release so far.

The final changelog for this release is below.
Links to various files are on the freshmeat announce page:

CVS has been tagged, and already changed to start 0.99.2,
which hopefully will start seeing some interesting new
features when I come back next week :)

Have fun!

regards,

Dave.
