Beta 0.3.0 and 0.4.0 released!

Seems that lot of time has passed since the last release! So, the project is not dead and the mole is still digging its way.

We worked a lot since release 0.2.1, but we never got the time to release the changes we made. We then worked on other projects to try to earn some money (seems to be necessary in this world), and went back to HeavyMole recently.

And HeavyMole is back! With a MS Windows version!
A word on this MS Windows version: at first time we thought we'll ever release only some GNU/Linux/Unix releases in the hope to give a cool software only to this world, and to give another reason fo MS Windows users to migrate to these better systems.
We changed our opinion principally for two reason: HeavyMole is a sharing application and sharing is something that has to be done with the most people as possible (otherwise it can be some kind of MS Windows users racism...), and giving a MS Windows and GPLed version of a Unix program is a good way to promote the GPL world and can also motivate users to migrate to a GNU/Linux system.

You may also wonder why we release two different versions on the same day. The difference between these two versions are principally that the version 0.4.0 includes the use of gtkmm2.2 instead of 1.2, and that the MS Windows support is finally supplied. The use of the release 0.3.0 is therefore mainly for programmers which may want to compare the differences between the two versions. The fact is that the version 0.3.0 should have been released earlier, but you know how life is...

Anyway, we hope you will enjoy our application.
