3. -- Interface enhancements --
-We have added a few elements to the web interface to make the small every day
-tasks a bit easier:

- ~ a new *feedback* link has been added to the top-right corner to encourage
- on-the-fly feedback from users finding bugs or requesting features while
- using Dradis.
+Some major works have been undertajen on the interface. A brand new
+email-client layout has been adopted. Dradis now has a Note Preview panel for
+better accessibility to lengthy notes.
-4. -- Windows installer / Dependencies verification script
-Smarter and sexier, the new Windows installer makes use of the official Dradis
-icons, and takes even less time to complete the process.
+There is also a new Note Editor, bigger, simpler and easier to use. And we
+support Textile markup! [i]
-On the Linux front, verify.sh is a shell script that will point you what
