Release Highlights
--------------------
This release has been a major reboot, with a refocus on leading
applications and emphasis on quality over quantity.  Less mature parts of
the projects have been dropped with a targeted focus placed on upgrading
and improving documentation.

Dropped:
* Windows-only applications/installers
* Overviews of OGC Standards
* Some applications that did not meet our review criteria
* We now only support a 64 bit distribution (32 bit is built but not
officially supported)

Added:
* Support for isohybrid ISO images with UEFI
