[LAD] [LAU] Release: New Session Manager Version 1.3

[rosea.grammostola]

Quite a hijack...

No credits to the original author in the release announcement, which is 
quite disrespectful. He did finally solve the session management problem 
on Linuxaudio with Non-Session-Manager after several attempts by some 
serious skilled programmers.

Release around midnight Europe time.

Very classy guys.

I've had e-mail contact with Nils twice about NSM this week. No word 
about this hijack/fork. All though I understand in some way that a fork 
is a logical consequence and I'm not totally against (maybe the timing), 
you guys really act like little boys or girls in high-school.

Disappointing.
