-$Id$
+This is the *development* branch of LibGTop. It is indended
+for people who want to help with the development of LibGTop and
+not for end-users.
-LATEST NEWS:
-===========
+Please use the LIBGTOP_STABLE_1_0 branch (which is LibGTop 1.0.x)
+unless you're really a developer.
-Please look also in the file 'NEWS' for latest news.

-Martin
+If you're using LibGTop from CVS simply do a
+
+ cvs update -r LIBGTOP_STABLE_1_0
+
+to get the latest version from the stable branch.
+
+However, I'll periodically make snapshot releases from the development
+branch for Solaris users of LibGTop.
+
+They can be found at
+
+ ftp://ftp.home-of-linux.org/pub/libgtop/1.1/
+
+in near future.
+
+Using released tarballs from the development branch is a lot better than
+compiling directly from CVS since things in CVS may not always work as
+expected.
+
+Note that releases from the developer branch are neither binary
+nor fully source compatible; you'll normally have to recompile
+everything that use them.
