Welcome to the first official open source release of Dlayer; it is not a complete product yet but for reasons I have outlined on my blog many times it feels right to badge it as ## v1.00.
Over the coming weeks, I will continue to polish the core of the Content manager and work towards returning the module that I removed in the last part of this year.
A full set-up process will appear in the new year along with simple reset scripts to ease development.
