+Robot Framework 2.1 is the first major release in the first open
+source release in June 2008. It contains plenty of new functionality
+and also ssome new libraries.
+
+Robot Framework 2.1 beta was released on Wednesday 2009-04-08 and it
+can be downloaded from the

+(issue 118) are still under development and some documentation still
+needs to be updated.
