Aethera is a Personal Information Management application, handling mail,
contacts and sticky notes with advanced integration and extensibility.

This is version 1.0 alpha 1 (1.0a1) and is intended as preview of the new
architecture and platform independence.

This release requires Qt 3.0 and Korelib from theKompany, both available
at no cost from the links below:

Qt:       http://www.trolltech.com
Korelib:  http://www.thekompany.com

This version is not stable enough for day-to-day use, but if you are a
developer you will be interested to see that we have ported to Qt 3, provided
an advanced plugin API, and removed all dependencies on KDE libraries (so that
we can port to platforms without X11 (or UNIX).) Korelib provides some of
the functionality that was missing after removing KDE dependencies.

Unfortunately this version is incompatible with the last release, so you have
to make a copy of your old Aethera directory. When the 1.0 release is made,
there will be automatic import of old data and settings.

You can find build/installation instructions in the file 'INSTALL'.

Thanks for using Aethera !
Eugen C. and Rik Hemsley.
