[announce] Chora H3 (2.0-BETA)

[Jan Schneider]

The Horde Team is pleased to announce the first beta release of the Chora
Repository Viewer version 2.0.

Chora is built upon the Horde Application Framework and provides a read-only
browser interface to any number of version control repositories.  Advanced
features include a visual branch view of the repository's history,
pretty-printed output, annotation, patchsets and basic statistics.

This is a preview version that should not be used on production
systems.  This version is considered feature complete but there are still a
few bugs, some of which are listed below.  You should not use this preview
version over existing production data.

We encourage widespread testing and feedback via the mailing lists or our bug
tracking system.  Updated translations are very welcome, though some strings
will still change before the final release.

The major changes compared to the Chora 2.0-ALPHA version are:
    * Access keys.
    * mod_rewrite support for prettier URLs.

Known issues:
    * Upgrade instructions and scripts have not been written yet.
    * Subversion: access to old revisions of cp'ed and mv'ed files does
      not work.
