Cuis 4.0 is available at http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/Index.html. This is a very important release. It's been over 10 months since Cuis 3.3, but all this time means that there are a lot of big news now.
The biggest one is the public release of the Styled Text Editor, by Bernhard Pieber. Bernhard will do the announcement of this project himself, all I want to say is that Styled Text Editor is the driving force behind most of the new stuff in this release. I also want to add that I'm delighted to be able to work with Bernhard on his project, and that I'm more than happy with the wonderful effect this is having on Cuis itself.
Check http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/CuisReleaseNotes.html .
So, the main new features of this release of Cuis are the required support for External Packages. This is a very lightweight implementation of Packages, based on PackageInfo, but not on Monticello. Versioning is done with GitHub. Take a look at http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/CodeManagementInCuis4.html and http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/CuisAndGitHub.html .

About this release
All in all, there were over 860 issues treated in the issue tracker.
Read it again, yes 860 is huge, take two minutes and have a look at the list of improvements! Now you got a feeling for the effort. And this not our own work but the work of our community! It is possible because people worldwide helped! We want to deeply thank them.
We want to thank in particular Inria for its constant support, in particular for the salary of Igor Stasenko and for help in the infrastructure put in place.
We have accomplished this huge task for a better system because we were together. Do not forget that we are working on a consortium to support our system. Do not forget that our goal is to build a system so that we can make a living with our creativity and programming skills.
