Hello all, We would have been happy to be thanked for our great efforts on the project. Midgard is existing from people contributing but even from the contribution of companies like Aurora Linux. Thanks for Emiliano, Alexander, David, Xavier, Armand and Ami whose efforts through Aurora allowed us to bring Midgard to this new area of his history : the Midgard 1.4.1 release...
