All about this Release!!!
=========================
-This is the first release on our way to a new stable series.
+This is the second release on our way to a new stable series.
On our way to, that is, this is a development release, which is not
intended for production servers. We feel that releasing development
versions will help us making the to-be stable release more stable, and
if it is odd (1, 3, 5 etc), it is a development release
C indicates small changes.
Which is to say our version numbering system is the same as that of
-the linux kernel. So 1.2.7 is a stable version, and 1.3.0 (this one)

is a development release.
-We are excited to bring you the first fruits of a very good
-development series. Major rewrites of the back-end and the user
-interface have been happening since the 1.2 series. These rewrites
-have inspired me for the release alias (see down this document).

About our Release Aliases - By Wouter Teepe
=========================
-Pasta is, as we all know, a group of Italian dishes. As most of us
-know, several types of pasta exist, two of which are:
+In the last months we have had our development team enlarged by,
+amongst others, Marc. Marc has been one of the greatest contributors
+to the stable series. After the release of 1.3.0, just 2 days ago, he
+managed to fix many many small bugs that were found. Almost when
+others (including myself) just thought "Huh, another release?" Marc
+was working hard to improve all kind of things. All fixes in this
+release (and possibly new bugs ;-)) are due to his hard work.
-* Spaghetti: Tastes good, but is very hard to untangle. Its structure
- is unneccecarily complex, but it is relatively easy to cook.
-* Lasagne: Tastes excellent, and its structure is very elegant: it is
- layered. Cooking it takes quite a bit more patience and design.
-
-I will not bore you with Italian cooking more except for this: The
-difference between spaghetti and lasagne applies to SquirrelMail as
-well. Where 1.2 is good, its inside is unneccecarily complex. Opposed
-to this, 1.3 is quite well structured from the inside. Its potential
-is true excellence. Its flavor is already excellent. Expect 1.4/2.0 to
-be, well...
-
-With the slicing up the internals of SquirrelMail, whole new
-possibilities will emerge. Listen on the development mailinglist to
-hear which!
+Keep up the good work, Marc!
Happy SquirrelMailing!
