G System 0.5 goes BETA

The G System is a free simulation framework and virtual reality.
The framework provides network distributed operation, which allows for 
huge simulations.
The virtual reality created with the G System, called G Universe, 
focuses on evolution, thus creating a virtual, multi-user, evolving 
universe with both adventurous and scientific aspects.

Many months after the 0.4 release of the G System, the 0.5 release 
series is finally dawning. As already hinted by the 0.4 release, this 
new release is the first with real network support, among many other 
improvements. Building on the XMPP standard, the G System is an open 
network with XML based communication.

We decided to provide a BETA before the final release to allow well 
testing, in particular of the network code. The BETA period depends 
on user feedback and bugs we encounter but will be approximately one 
or two weeks.

The current release contains all libraries, a demo (gdemo), a KDE 
based configuration utility (god), a server frontend (guniverse) and 
a KDE based client (guniverseclient). There is also plenty of 
documentation available, including an API reference.

If you would like to join the virtual universe and help us to provide 
a stable 0.5 release, or are just excited about the G System in 
general, please download the BETA release and contact us at the user 
mailing list. Bugs should be sent to the bugs mailing list. We 
appreciate your support and feedback and hope to bring you an 
interesting and enjoyable evolving universe. Please make sure that 
you register at least to the user mailing list, important BETA 
testing information will be posted there like server downtimes and 
upates. You can also ask any questions regarding the BETA release on 
the user mailing list.
