[LDTP-Dev] Announce: Linux Desktop Testing Project (LDTP) 2.0.1 released

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hello all,

As per Vuntz [1] suggestion, I have renamed the LDTPv2 package name from
ldtp2-2.0.1 to ldtp-2.0.1. Uploaded new package [2]

Missing pieces in previous email:

About LDTP:

Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test
automation framework (Python) and cutting-edge tools that can be used to
test Linux Desktop and improve it. It uses the Accessibility libraries to
poke through the application's user interface. We strive to help in building
a quality desktop.

Thanks
Nagappan
