Primary goal of this release was fixing compatibility issues between 
several versions of Eclipse, The Grinder and PyDev. Secondary goal was 
to add compatibility with recently release Jython 2.5.0 and 2.5.1.

I am glad to state that both goals were achieved and latest release of 
GrinderStone is supporting various platforms and combinations of components.
Another good news is that we have finally tested and may prove that 
GrinderStone is compatible with the latest Mac OS operating system 
(Leopard version is tested).

What is GrinderStone
Many engineers (testers, developers) who are using The Grinder to do 
some testing are facing a lack of debugging capabilities in The Grinder. 
In many cases this problem increasing time and effort to create more 
robust and extensible scripts or frameworks.  An effort was made to help 
us, users of The Grinder, to make our work easier.
The GrinderStone project is an Eclipse plugin, that allow user to 
utilize powers of IDE to develop and debug The Grinder scripts inside 
one the preferred IDE: Eclipse.

As Eclipse and The Grinder, GrinderStone is cross-platform. It can work 
in any environment where Eclipse and The Grinder are supported. Users 
are not limited any more to only Windows operating Systems.
