==========================================================

One of the greatest improvement in this release is the speedup of system start-up which is introduced by Debian Squeeze.

Since this version, we drop the idea of stable/development versions. Instead, all releases on or after 0.7.0 should be 
considered as beta quality.

Our long term plan is to keeping Voyage Linux as a base distribution and keep up with latest kernel and Debian, while we 
continue to explore other special purposed editions such as Voyage ONE and Voyage MPD. Next milestone will be including 
a webgui which could be found now in Voyage MPD.
