+
+<p>As usual src.rpm packages are also available in the same directory. Also a new mondo-doc package is produced for most distributions containing all the formats of mondo's documentation. Only there for completion, as mondo's package already contains the required doc files.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This version should fix most of latest bugs reported for mindi. the 2.0.x branch should now enter in a bug fix only mode. All new features will be introduced in 2.2.x on which we will now work (internationalization, memory management, configuration files, ...)

-Other distributions will follow asap (should be able to produce soon
-redhat 7.3, fedora core 4, and only after rhel3/4 and sles9) due to the
-change in the virtual machines I have to do (now using qemu + more tools
-to generate RPMs)
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The focus on this version has been more around the new website and
-documentation, and a bit less on code. So some persistant bugs are still
-not corrected (some dvd burning issues and dm/lvm2 support mainly) and
-will be hopefully in 2.0.8.
