(From Chris Travers' post to LedgerSMB-devel list)

We have opted to release a milestone release on sourceforge with the changes towards 1.3.0 to-date. Please note that this release is largely aimed as a community update and is not suited well to either active development (due to rapid changes of the codebase) or for production use.

Highlights include:

• a new template system (Seneca)
• RESTful web services interface code (Jason)
• Normalized Contact Management schema to be basis for other CRM functionality (Josh D)
• New Architecture (Chris T and other core members)
• New Reconciliation code (Awrynn Shaw)
• Vocher code (Chris T)
• On-hold status for invoices (Awrynn Shaw)
• More tests (Seneca)
• The login page and menu are now ported to the new architecture.
• And more!
