[Xerte] ANN: Xerte 3 Windows and Mac versions now available

[Kemp Johnathan]

Hello Julian,

I agree that Xerte has now a brand recognition that it would be a shame to
lose with Xerte 3, but also recognise the very different nature of Xerte 3
to Xerte 2 and toolkits. If you would like a different name then perhaps you
could retain some of the brand recognition whilst conveying the different
nature of version 3 by naming it either Xairte or XerteAir. Neither seem to
result in much in the way of hits from Google. The latter would also benefit
from being returned by searches for Xerte.

Just a thought.

Kind regards

Johnathan
