File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 0.2-alpha-1

Notes:
This is a VERY EARLY preview release of the 0.2 series and is NOT intended to replace 0.1 yet.

It is, however, a _technological_preview_ of things to come and includes a wide arrange of new features, a completely new architecture and improvements in almost every component.

The 0.2 series is based off of kde 4 and provides a real server / client experience with intelligent model synchronization and compilation and a much improved initial setup (namely pretty much none).

Changes:
Porting to KDE 4
Removed Juliusd in favor of simond:
* Network audio streaming
* Recognition and model compilation on server
* No processor intensive calculations on the client (opens the door to development of solutions for embedded devices, etc.)
Revised and greatly improved command plugin architecture
* Individual triggers per plugin
* Runtime module loading / unloading (even the configuration of the modules)
Introduction of ksimond - a frontend to the simond recognition server
And much, much more...
