2008-10-03 Last beta version of Mondorescue 2.2.7 available

I'd like to announce the availability of a latest beta version of mondorescue 2.2.7.

Now available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test

Our plan with Andree is to stabilize that version over the week-end so that we could align for Lenny the versions. So you should have an official 2.2.7 early next week, as well as new Debian packages.

Please report any problem you may find with this ASAP. Thanks for your continuous support of our project !

Bruno.
