Dear Gobby users,

We recently released Gobby 0.4.90, the first version of the 0.5 series.
It no longer needs obby or net6, but a new library called libinfinity
[1].

We implemented a new concurrency control algorithm in libinfinity that
allows support for Undo and Redo which Gobby 0.4.90 finally has. This
also means that Gobby 0.4.90 is not backwards compatible to earlier
versions, however, it is parallel-installable.

Gobby 0.4.90 is meant as a kind of preview. It does not yet have all the
features that are planned for 0.5, and it also has some regressions to
the previous 0.4.x versions (most notably self-hosting) which are meant
to be implemented for the final 0.5. The chat has been removed by
intention since there are several third-party solutions such as IRC,
Jabber or VoIP that can be used for enhanced communication.

libinfinity also brings its own dedicated server, called infinoted.
There are instructions on how to use it on [2].

libinfinity is API-, ABI- and protocol-wise unstable. This means things
can and will change in future in a way that breaks compatability between
versions. Gobby 0.4.90 and libinfinity are to be considered
experimental. Don't complain if it eats your sensibe data. But please
file bugs on [3] if it does.

We set up a server to play around with on host "dalaran.0x539.de".
Again, the Windows installer contains all required files to run Gobby.
Make sure to install into a different location than an existing Gobby
0.4 installation if you want to keep using the previous version.
