Documentation update.
Changes to how version/release-numbers get assigned.
Cleanup of the build-structure.

Aurora is a graphical front-end to the init process of Linux. It presents the starting and stopping of services with text and nice icons telling how the service startup/stop turend out.

This version comes with several so-called "Monitors" - grapchical front-ends. They are distributed as separate binary RPMs, but are all contained in the same SRC-rpm and tar-ball.

For the FrameBuffer - based Monitors, you must either run a FrameBuffer-kernel (with a graphic video-mode enabled).

To switch Monitor, change the symlink /etc/aurora/Monitor to point to any of the files in /lib/aurora/Monitors.

If you feel like it, you may vote for Aurora at Icewalk.com (The site is something like freshmeat but comercial, and someone added Aurora to their database).
