+Nitro is a multiparadigm application framework and will incorporate ideas
+from Rails, Wee, PHP, JSP and Microsoft.NET.
 == Features
 A short summary of the major features:
+* Multiparadigm web appliacations.
+	You can write applications in the ASP/JSP/PHP style, ie by writting
+	server pages that are automatically transalted to Ruby code by
+	Nitro.
+	Alternatively, you can write Rails style application by utilizing
+	the powerfull Controller mechanism.
+* Advanced Code generation.
+	Nitro in essence writes your Web application for you. The system
+	provides a number of domain spefic language extensions (meta-languages)
+	to automate generate of common code (OR mapping, validation,
+	forms generation, syndication, markup and more).
+* Object-Relational Mapping
+	Nitro integrates the Og (ObjectGraph) object-relational mapping
+	library. Og	provides transparent serialization of object graphs to a RDBMS
+	backend. Unlike other similar libraries Og maps standard Ruby
+	objects to SQL tables and not vice versa. Og provides a meta language
+	to describe the relations between objects, a flexible	and intuitive api
+	for querieng the database, raw access to the SQL language if needed
+	(for example to fine tune the automatically generated SQL tables, or
+	for custom queries), provides automatic validation, suports deserialization
+	to Ruby objects or tuples, automatically generates join tables for
+	many_to_many relations and provides a collection of usefull Mixins to
+	synthesize common Entities.
+	Og is a combination of the best features of Active Record and the
+	former O-R mapping library included in Nitro (NDB). Adapters for
+	PostgreSQL and MySQL are included.

+Many classes have be rewritten using *clean* code,

+version of the Blog example was included. This version
+does not use XSLT and runs on Windows.
+If you havent seen Nitro or you had problems with an
+earlier version, this is the time to revisit this
+project!
+Most notable additions:
+* Drastically improved source code readability.
+* New abstract rendering pipeline. Benefits:
+	* multiple adaptors.
+	* better unit tests.
+	* optimized memory allocation.
+	* more modular desing.
+* FastCGI support (tested with Lighttpd).
+* no_xsl_blog example.
+	This new example is easier to setup, even on Windows.
+	This also demonstrates that Nitro does NOT force
+	the use of XSLT.
+* No global variables used for nitro configuration.
+* Updated the docs to better reflect the rappidly
