gnewtellium 0.05b is our latest milestone. Read the changelog below.

Public Apology

I was told that our release of gnewtellium 0.03 coincided with the official release of Windows XP or something. Well, all I can say is sorry to Microsoft for stealing all the fame and the media attention from them.

Newtella.com

What's going on with newtella.com? At first, we thought that the RIAA unleashed their troops. :-) Then the site got back up, but with a non-functional forum. Then it went down. And now it's up again. It seems that they have abandoned their project. Of course, we haven't. :-)
