Good News every one!

  This can be used for tuning using external devices like the Powermate.
* Support for VFO->MEM and MEM->VFO function.
- Support on/off rig functions.
- Added an extra gigahertz digit in lcd display
- Added antenna control
- French l10n (feel free to contribute your language)
- Fixed crash that occurs when mouse is clicked between MHz and kHz digits.
  Reported as Ubuntu bug 517816.
- Requires Gtk+ 2.12 and Hamlib 1.2.8

Download it at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/groundstation/files/Grig/0.8.0/

But hold on, what is grig BTW?  http://groundstation.sourceforge.net/grig/

Alexandru Csete, OZ9AEC, the original designer and developer of grig
is looking for people to take over and maintain the project.
The current release has been made on interim by Nirgal and myself.
We are thinking about bringing all the nice Alex's ideas in a Python
code base, lowering the maintainance. Upon Alex proposal, Grig might
one day join the Hamlib project. Many thanks to Alex for his work so far.

Or newer versions, of course.  :-)

It has already been accepted by Debian FTP so should be in Unstable soon

Good work!
