[Openicc] Anounce : Oyranos Version 0.1.7

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

The alpha state of Oyranos (version 0.1.7) is available. This version is a 
milestone to bring the library to a beta state. Building, debugging and 
packaging has been improved. Defaults are provided internally, matching 
to the Home+Office policy. 
Compilation is only available on unix/bsd/linux/osX systems. Integration 
with ColorSync is yet not ready.


About:
Oyranos is a colour management system allowing currently to share 
various settings across applications and services. The provided interfaces 
are the C library, a GUI and partitial access through command line tools. 
Oyranos is based on the Elektra configuration system for bsd/linux. Native 
backends to other colour management systems are planed.
