Download pages are accessible at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib
rpms, .deb and Win32 DLL's coming soon (MinGW32 build needs a fix)

Please, test it out and report to hamlib-developer@lists.sourceforge.net
Developers are also invited to join the Hamlib team by subscribing to
this mailing list. If your favorite rig is not in the supported list,
feel free to ask. We need more beta-testers, so all the backends can
reach the stable and fully supported state.

Many thanks to all the developers and testers who participated
in this release, and esp. to the ARRL for giving access to rigs.

Have fun and let us know!
