[skylive] SkyLiveNG 0.1: RELEASED!

Hello all.
This is a GREAT day!

Today we have just released SkyLive 0.1 "stable".

This is only the first milestone of a long time project road, but we are
pleasure to say that "the first step is done!"

Features of this version:

- manage ALL remotes telescopes of the skylive project, bot for GOTO and
  exposures/filters
- Live images from telescopes updated every 5 seconds, with pointing
  arrow for help in describing what you see live
- DSS catalog comparing for fields both in FITS viewer and Live image
- FITS viewer with autolevel from zscale algorithm of IRAF
- Basic levels for FITS viewer
- coordinates, weather and roof status for all telescopes
- Scripts management for complex exposures planning (compatible with the
  old skypromega client )
- Multiple languages ( only eng and ita actually are implemented )
- online help ( but doc need to be written )
- chat and private chat
- VideoLive streaming by stikam integrated
- available for Mac OSX, Windows, Linux (both rpm and deb packages)
- available for other unixes by tarball ( not tested )

old one will be blocked in skylive network in few days from now.

If you have debian or a debian derived, you can also install skyliveNG
by apt/aptitude adding in your sources.lists:

deb http://packages.medianix.net/ venus astronomy

and install the package skyliveng

the gpg key for the repository is devel_at_unixmedia.it

If you try to install it from tarballs, just run ./install.py in the
tarball root dir, or copy whole directory where you prefer ( /opt,
/usr/local/ or any other directory is ok) and make a shell script
wrapper that launch ./skylive.py from the package base directory.

Enjoy!
