It has finally arrived: Multiframe 5

This is a major milestone for the Multiframe project.

As with this release, Multiframe is now 100% open source - licensed under the GPL 3 license (however some modules within the Multiframe framework are licensed according to other open source licenses, mainly BSD).

Linpro, the company behind Multiframe, will continue to offer service agreements, training and consulting along with their Partners, but the software can now be obtained and used for free.
