On behalf of everyone who has worked hard on this release, I am pleased
to announce the availability of *Kimchi 2.0*!

This release is an important milestone for Kimchi and Ginger communities, as Wok and
Ginger Base (two new projects originated from Kimchi) are also officially announced!

Wok is a cherrypy-based web framework with HTML5 support that is extended by
plugins which expose functionality through REST APIs. And it is part of Kimchi
community.

Ginger Base is a Wok plugin for base host management. It was originated from the former
Host tab in Kimchi and it is now part of Ginger community.

 From now on, Kimchi is a Wok plugin to manage KVM guests.
Kimchi depends on Wok and Ginger Base, so make sure you have them installed in your system
in addition to Kimchi.
You can find more information about Wok at: http://kimchi-project.github.io/wok/; and more
information about Ginger Base at: http://kimchi-project.github.io/gingerbase/

Among many features, this release includes:
      ✔ New UI design
      ✔ Resources filtering
      ✔ Guest memory utilization statistics
      ✔ Support to add multiple disks to a Template
      ✔ Provide information about guest IP addresses

We have worked hard to ensure that Kimchi runs well on the most popular
Linux distributions including: Fedora 23, Ubuntu 15.10, openSUSE 13.2,
and RHEL 7.2. Kimchi uses standard Linux interfaces so it should run well
on many other distributions too.

You can easily grab this release in tarball format or via git:
       ✔ https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/archive/2.0.0.tar.gz
       ✔ git clone --recursive https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi.git

There are also some packages available at:
       ✔ http://kimchi-project.github.io/kimchi/downloads/

Go ahead! Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Regards,
Aline Manera
