-First of all, let me say that you all HAVE been warned: the
-SquirrelMail Project Team is not supporting PHP 4.1.0 for the 1.2.0
-release. Basically, SquirrelMail was in the final death throws of
-this development series when the witty PHP folks decided to make the
-release of 4.1.0. Of course, we greatly appreciate their hard work! :)
-
-However, we were too close to the end of this whole thing to be able
-to spend the week or two EXTRA that it will take to get SquirrelMail
-1.2.0 PHP 4.1.0 ready. This will, on the bright side, be a major
-priority amongst the team in the immediate future. At first look, it
-seems that 4.1.0 support should just require a collection of
-relatively minor tweaks. You can expect 4.1.0 support within 2-3
-weeks, as a part of a later 1.2.X release.
-
-
-Where are we going from here?
-=============================
-
-After things cool down a bit and the smoke clears from 1.2.0,
-progress will begin on the Great SquirrelMail Rewrite, also known as
-the 1.3 development branch. This branch will eventually become the
-long talked about SquirrelMail 2.0. The major developmental emphasis
-for SquirrelMail 2.0 will be in making SquirrelMail more flexible
-and modular so that it might do a better job meeting the needs of
-our system administrators and end-users. We are greatly anticipating
-working in this area.
-
-At the same time, we will kick start the SquirrelMail Teams. For
-some time now, we have been planning a reorganization of the project
-into a variety of subteams. Each subteam will focus on a different
-aspect of SquirrelMail Project work. These teams will hopefully help
-keep the SquirrelMail project more on track and to provide some
-semblance of order. This project has grown so large in the past two
-years that an orderly structure is necessary if anything is to get
-done effectively. The teams (as planned) are as follows:
-
- Stable Series Team: Maintains the stable series
- Development Series Team: Works on the development series
- i18n Team: Handles i18n (internationalization) work
- Plugin Team: Manages the mass of plugins
- User Support Team: Helps users with their problems
- Documentation Team: Manages the documentation
- Evangelism Team: Spreads the good news of SquirrelMail
-
-Teams will be led by one or two SquirrelMail team members. And team
-members can participate in as many teams as he or she desires.
-
-For the next few weeks, the developers will be working on bugfixing
-and making the 1.2 series rock solid. After that, about mid January,
-focus will shift toward getting the teams in gear and starting work
-on the SquirrelMail 1.3 development series.
-
- Have a Merry Christmas!

+About our Release Aliases - By Jason Munro
+=========================
+
+Squirrelmail has started on a new journey.
+Two journeys really.
+
+In one, our beloved hero delves deep inside its squirrel-self,
+searching for calmness and peace with its surroundings.
+Striving to hone its squirrel-skills against any and all obstacles.
+
+This is the stable path.
+
+In the other, our champion has shed the failures of its past and
+started anew on a wild adventure through uncharted territory. The
+dangers are great, but so are the rewards.
+
+This is the development path.
+
+
+ Squirrelmail 1.2.6 is the latest stepping-stone on the stable
+path. It leads to a Squirrelmail of unseen dependablity and
+performance.
+ Squirrelmail 2.0 development has begun. This is the first step
+on the journey down the development path. New worlds of possiblity
+are opening up with each step.
+
+Forget what you thought you knew about Squirrelmail,
+and get ready for a whole new nut.
