New SCM option - Git repository available on GitHub

I am pleased to announce that I have set up a Git repository for IzPack in GitHub: http://github.com/jponge/izpack/tree/master

This is not a change in the SCM choice for IzPack, but rather a new option for those who would like to use a distributed SCM.

Do not hesitate to fork/clone the repository. As the maintainer of IzPack, I expect to facilitate the interactions between developers and contributors by breaking the "centralized commit rights" barrier.

To clone the repository:

git clone git://github.com/jponge/izpack.git izpack.git

It currently contains two branches called master (my own development branch) and vendor-svn-trunk (a mirror of our SVN trunk at Codehaus). In the future, I expect to also track the stable release branches that we maintain in Subversion.

Comments / ideas are welcome!

IzPack 4.1.0 release candidate

I'm happy to announce that a release candidate is available for testing.

You can get it from http://snapshots.dist.codehaus.org/izpack/IzPack-install-4.1.0-rc.jar.

Thanks for testing and reporting us any issue!
