Introduction
The #develop project started on September 11th, 2000. The project was initiated by Mike Krüger. In the course of the project, several contributors joined in (we always welcome new developers!), who have helped a great deal to make the 1.0 release a successful one – though it took us four years and a few architectural changes along the way.

What you got on your machine is now version 4.0 – a vastly enhanced product, and we encourage you to take the feature tour.
