[Openicc] Anounce : Oyranos Version 0.1.8

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

The beta state of Oyranos (version 0.1.8) is available.The version brings 
the elder API's to a beta stage. Some API's where added to better support 
Policies. The command line tools are improved. The Alpha part features a 
early incomplete, object oriented CMM framework.


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.
