Hello everybody,

I'm glad to announce you the release 0.2.0 of Newebe. As you expect,
this release includes major features and debugging.

User features:
* Authentication is implemented, now your Newebe pages are protected
with a password. It is called a sesame,
you just have to type your password when Newebe page is displayed.
* Activity stream, all actions from your contacts and yourself are
logged in the "activities" section.
* Profile update. Now when you modify your profile, your contacts are
informed and can see your updated profile.
* Everything can be displayed from any page. I mean that now when you
click on a nickname, its profile is displayed on the right side of the
newebe, in the activity stream, you can display posted micropost or
profile updates.
* Links are automatically converted in hyper link.
* A favicon is now displayed on newebe tab.

Under the hooder, for technical people:
* Markdown library is added to dependency to make some render work on
server side.
* Lettuce is now the test framework used to test the server side.
* Django is no longer needed to deploy Newebe in production mode. It
is still required for development mode as a Lettuce depency.
* Server logging is improved in debug mode.
* Server automatically restart after any modification
* Automatic build when change occurs via watch command for the client
side.
* Code is cleaner, more comments and there are more tests for server
side.

I will end with a warning : if you upgrade Newebe from 0.1.0 you must
delete all you contacts and rebuild your contact list. Sorry for this
inconvenience but Newebe is still in its early stage of development.

I hope you will enjoy this new version of Newebe. If you need contacts
to test Newebe, just send me an email and I will give you mine.

Regards,

Gelnior


PS : What is planned for the next release is :
* Synchronisation with your contacts at each startup.
* Note application (Evernote like).
