Jahshaka 2.0 RC1 released

We are pleased to announce that Jahshaka 2.0RC1 has been announced 'stable'
and has been released at (http://www.jahshaka.org/)http://www.jahshaka.org
! We put a lot of hard work into rewriting jahshaka as a framework that can
take us into the future and we look forward to your feedback!

Jahshaka 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the jahshaka core and so it took a
lot longer that we thought it would to get to a stable version. But since
its a rewrite, it comes with a lot of added power and functionality so we
hope its worth the wait!

In addition to a variety of improvements we have built a core architecture
that can take us into the future and that we can easily build on from here
on out to deliver much faster turnaround on major improvements. It will
also make it much easier for open source developers out there to join the
team and help to move us forward!

There are some cool screenshots of the 2.0 framework in action up on our
Screenshots page feel free to check them out! Linux and OsX build great
from the source and OsX, Linux and windows installers are available online.

Since this is the first Jahshaka 2.0 release candidate, we really need your
help in debugging and making it as stable as possible so please get
involved! Remember this is Free, Open Source Software!
