Visage 0.1beta1 "Setting The Scene" Released

[MattyT <matty chariot net au>]

The first public version of Visage, 0.1beta1 "Setting The Scene" has
been released.

Visage is a program you can use to rapidly organise and visualise
information.  You can use it to organise your thoughts, or any sort of
information that needs to be thoroughly "cross referenced".

Compared to other similar programs, it is based on two main principles:

- That information does not necessarily fit into a single hierarchy, as
some other information organisation programs attempt to do.  Programs
such as word processors also attempt to do this.  But information might
not fit into any hierarchy, or might fit into several alternate
hierarchies.  Whether you use a hierarchy and which you choose (if so)
is merely a way to view the data, and not a part of the data itself.
- That data is fundamentally typed, and if one wishes one should be able
to define constraints on data that are enforced either rigourously or
loosely.

Visage is released under the GNU GPL, and relies on the Bakery2
framework for C++ GNOME2 applications.

Current versions of Visage have several major limitations - namely no
ability to view information in hierarchies, and no ability to
export/import information to foreign file formats.

Please read the README file for a list of limitations and known bugs.
