MrProject 0.9 - the little drummer boy
======================================

The MrProject team proudly presents the release of MrProject 0.9.


What is MrProject?
------------------

MrProject is a project management application under development, that
will help build project plans and track the progress of a project.

The development of MrProject is led by CodeFactory as a free software
project, and all code is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

More information is available at the MrProject home page:

Over-all changes between 0.8 and 0.9
------------------------------------

Finally we have the one most wanted feature in place:

(Glynn, drum roll please?)

Printing!

Hopefully this will make MrProject a lot more usable for many of
you. We are using gnome-print 2.2.x for printing, which is a new
requirement. It can be downloaded from the MrProject ftp site.

For an example see:
