Patch Integration Engine Alpha Release

The first release of the Patch Integration Engine has been made. The release version is 0.2 and is still considered to be in an alpha state. This is in contrast to a previous news item that stated that the first release would be a beta.

Holding back the beta release was due to a lack of general testing across multiple distributions, while the 0.2 version number was due to a significant bug being patched in the original 0.1 release.

As this release is not considered stable it should NOT be used on a production server.
