ANNOUNCE: razor-qt 0.4.1

[Petr Vanek]

The Razor-qt team announces the release of Razor-qt 0.4.1.

The main change in the 0.4.x series is "The License Cleanup" - Razor-qt is licensed GPL2 as a whole package now (without any conflicting code parts which disallowed Razor-qt redistribution by most Linux distributions).

See the full changelog below.

About Razor

Razor-qt is an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt technologies. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and an intuitive interface. Unlike most desktop environments, Razor-qt also works fine with weak machines.
