Posted December 18th, 2009 by Roger Linssen

Greetings earthlings,

A few minutes ago, we have released the first version of Blaise NG !

This version is a Consumer Technology Preview release, the result of phase 1 of the Blaise NG project, intended to show the strategy and progress of the project.
We expect to receive feedback from our customers on the usability of the product.
If you are a member of the BCLUB, you will get an e-mail from Asa Manning regarding the download details.

We have put a Getting Started video on YouTube:



Have fun with this release, and let us know what you think!
