Hey guys,

A bit later than I'd hoped, I've now released the first 0.2 version of
the assistant that has a chance of working.  The chance of breaking is
still much higher than the chance of working, so make a backup of your
~/.remote-help-assistant/ directory before having a go with this :)

To get the new version, you'll need to have installed bazaar.  On the
command-line, you can download the latest version with bazaar by doing:

bzr branch lp:~andrew-bugs-launchpad-net/remote-help-assistant/0.2

That will download the latest version of the assistant into a directory
called "0.2".  From within the 0.2 directory, you can then download the
latest changes at any time by doing:

bzr pull

Noteworthy changes so far include:

* Pages 3 and 4 have been combined
* Page 1 has a (so far useless) "safe mode" button
* The assistant now uses a configuration file
* The main program has moved from "bin/remote-help-assistant" to
"share/remote-help-assistant/gtk_client.py"
* Page 2 now talks about "accessing" instead of "connecting"
* Page 3 has a (so far useless) "more information" button

The "safe mode" button is what I came up with for Erpiu's "preferred"
mode.  The idea being that in safe mode, I only see the first page, the
connecting page, and the last page.  Although "safe mode" isn't very
descriptive, it's more likely to discourage people from disabling it
than a name like "basic mode".

The "more information" button will eventually link to a page discussing
connection options.  What do you guys think of having it there?

I plan to spend the next few days tracking down bugs and generally
sorting things out.  After that, I'll probably make a start on
redesigning pages 4 and 5 (dates).

	- Andrew
