Hi,

Thought that would be good to share the news with everyone: today 
Chandler Desktop Preview has been released! Whohoo!

This is version 0.7.0.*1*! 0.7.0 was built and posted Friday and that 
was enough time for Robin Cottiss to find a bug worth fixing. Thanks 
Robin! :) You're the proof that making releases available early to end 
users is worthwhile :)

A lot of thanks for *all* helping to push that baby out the door: devs, 
QA, dogfooders and, of course, daring early adopters who pushed us to 
fix bugs in every corners of the application. Thanks a lot!

Here under is a copy of the post I put on OSAF Blog and sent to @announce.

Cheers,
- Philippe
