        New stuff
        =========
        * kbmMW Community Edition (CE) made available.
          CE contains most Enterprise Edition features and is FREE
          to use under certain circumstances.

          The application produced with CE may not directly or indirectly
          have a revenue of more than US$5000 per year (12 months).
          The company that are responsible or creating the applications
          produced with CE, may not have a yearly turnaround of more than
          US$50000.

          There are technical limitations built in CE compared to
          kbmMW Professional or Enterprise Edition, some artificial constraints
          and some related to feature set.

          CE can be used as a trial for 60 days.
