GNU.FREE 1.9 has been released!

[Jason Kitcat]

Hi everyone!

It's been delayed by all my commitments and pushed back by all my 
distractions. But most of the wait has been because our objectives 
for this release were pretty tricky to implement!

What's new in GNU.FREE 1.9?

+ Bug fixes
+ FreeInstall now parses XML config files
+ XML config now means we support multiple types of election system: 
the first being Borda and First Past the Post (this is the big one 
and it's been on the TODO for sooo long).

All this means that we'll be working to including support for extra 
voting systems as time goes by. Also the XML infrastructure means we 
can do some interesting things elsewhere too.

So to download please visit: http://www.free-project.org/download/

Also see http://www.free-project.org/users/ for an updates FAQ.

All the best,
Jason
