CPAINT v2.0.2 coming Friday, January 20

[Paul Sullivan]

The long awaited v2.0.2 of CPAINT is scheduled for release on Friday,
20 January 2006 via SourceForge.Net (http://sf.net/projects/cpaint).

The two major changes in this release are the addition of JSON for
passing objects between the frontend and backend seamlessly and the
removal of the ASP implementation of the CPAINT backend.

Future releases of CPAINT will include additional security &
authorization mechanisms, Webservices (WSDL/SOAP) support on both
frontend & backend, session support, bookmarkable links, older browser
detection and support, comprehensive frontend & backend debugging,
backend XML input support, and plugins (enabling custom input/output
translators, events, and much more).

The entire CPAINT team thanks you for your continued support!
