What's new in 0.1 - everything!
===============================

I'm happy to announce the first stable dmedia release.  At this point dmedia is
really just for developers and *highly* adventurous end-users, but the design
and implementation are both progressing quickly.

However, one big fat point of caution: neither the content-hash nor the schema
is yet final!  I'm reserving the right to make incompatible changes without
regard for backward compatibility in the 0.2 and 0.3 releases.  So this is for
testing and play, not yet for seriously organizing your life's cinematic work.

You can download the source tarball here:

Packages are available for Lucid, Maverick, and Natty in the Novacut Stable
Releases PPA:

Contribute to 0.2 and beyond!
=============================

We do monthly time-based releases, always releasing on the last Thursday
of the month.  That means we promise to make a release on time each month, but
never promise what exact features will land.

dmedia 0.2 will be released on Thursday December 30 2010, and development is
already underway.  You can see the bugs targeted for 0.2 here:

An IRC quote from #novacut:

  times


That's all, folks!
==================

Thanks to everyone who is helping make this dream a reality!

Cheers,
