Submitted by kh_naba on Sun, 2005-05-15 07:08. Anjuta

After much waiting we are please to announce Anjuta 2.0.0 (alpha), the first release of Anjuta 2.x series and Anjuta 1.2.3 (stable).

Anjuta 2.0.0 is an alpha & unstable release and may not be suitable for production use. However, we encourage to use it and help us with bug reports. Both stable and development release can be used simultaneously, but they should be installed in different install prefix (important).
