:**What's new?**:
SPE 'Kay release' 0.8.0.b
This release is a major step forward for all platforms, especially for
MacOS X.
It offers you basic project management through workspaces (thanks to
Thurston Stone), an improved sidebar and pydoc viewer.
This is the first release which is also developed and tested on the
Mac. If SPE is stable enough, I'll try to build SPE as an application
for the Mac. This version aims stability, so please help to report and
fix all bugs! You can get involved on the SPE dev mailing list:
https://developer.berlios.de/mail/?group_id=4161
The advertisements on SPE's websites generate a moderate, but
necesssary income. From now on if you donate, you can ask me by email
an ad-free, nice pdf version of the manual.
