Release Notes for siduction razor-qt 12.1 (dev-release)

Built and released at LinuxTag convention in Berlin on 2012-05-25 we present to you the first developement release of siduction razor-qt 12.1. Razor-Qt 0.41, as the base for this release, was checked out of git on 2012-05-26. We plan to integrate Razor-Qt into our development cycle later on in 2012.

What is Razor-Qt?

Razor-Qt is a young, but heavily developed desktop environment, based on the qt toolkit. The underlying debian-unstable based distribution siduction is shipped with a patched vanilla kernel 3.4, accompanied by XServer 1.12. On top of that we added the Razor-Qt Desktop Environment, enriched with a good dozen of pure Qt-apps.
