FlameRobin project page upgraded to new SourceForge software : Git url changed , new features
The project page has been upgraded to the new SF.net software. The bad
part is that the URL of the git repository has changed again, hopefully
for the last time.
The good part is that the new software has some new features, most
prominently IMO voting on bugs and feature requests (which I have
already enabled).
