Happy birthday Jon

By olli. Wednesday, August 29, 2007 9:55:40 AM

Our fearless, peerless leader Jon turned 40 today, and what he wants more than anything for this birthday is for us to provide our community with an alpha version of Kestrel. And to celebrate his birthday, we are happy to announce that we are planning to release the first build next Tuesday!

The first Kestrel build will include some cool new features and tons of bug fixes, but as it's an alpha it will still be buggy. We need your help improving the quality as fast as possible.

Oh and you will finally see what's hiding on the Status Bar. ;-)


Meanwhile we wish Jon the very best!
