Migrating to Google Code

Hello!

I've migrated Allegro Sprite Editor to Google Code. The new project is located here: http://code.google.com/p/aseprite/

The project is definitely renamed to "ASEPRITE" (no Allegro, no ASE, just "ASEPRITE").

Maybe you'd like to know why I have migrated to Google Code. There are some important reasons:

1. SourceForge website is as slow as a turtle with hemorrhoids.
   
2. We need a Wiki (fast and easy to edit like the Google Code one, the alternatives given in SourceForge are too slow to be considered).
   
3. SourceForge never "remembers you". You have to log on each time you enter to the website (even using the check box "remember me for two weeks").
   
4. I could wait for SourceForge 2.0, but Google Code is just what I need right now.
   

If you are a developer, the source code is now available from github.com/dacap/aseprite. You can reuse your already cloned git repository from SF.net changing the remote origin URL to github with the following command:

git remote set-url origin git://github.com/dacap/aseprite.git

Or you can just clone the new repository:

git clone git://github.com/dacap/aseprite.git

In the next days I will be migrating the open issues from SF.net trackers (bugs, feature requests, etc.).

New ASE version released:
