Hello,

this is a summary about the progress, we have made in getting IPFire
2.13 ready for release.

At the very beginning of the year, we released the first beta version,
which was followed by the second beta version, which was released
yesterday.

  IPFire 2.13 beta 2

Overall, things calmed down and we did not experience any bigger
problems - although there have been some little beans that already have
been fixed. As IPFire 2.13 is already that stable, we would love if a
lot of you upgrade to the latest development version and help us finding
bugs.

that we decided to break the change log into several parts. Please have
