Hi!

Here's the latest weekly news edition!

=====================================================================
Well, it's 23:11 PM now and I'll probably won't get the time to
write a weekly tomorrow so I'm giving you guys out there a short
summary of what has been happening during the last week:

* The Lunar developers held a meeting at FOSDEM (fosdem.org)
* ...

Okaaay .. I admit, there hasn't been going on much. Still, we're
working on several occasions concerning the new ISO (2.4.x and
2.6.x based), the new website and of course the coretools.

Just to keep you busy meanwhile, here you have some teasing 
screenshots from the new installer:

A long list of updates though. As usual ;-)
We would never let you down on that part.
