Agama 19 released

Version19 of the Agama installer for openSUSE and SUSE has beenreleased. This release includes major changes in Agama's architecturaldesign, organization of the web interface, and more.

We always wanted Agama to follow the schema [...] in which the core ofthe installer could be controlled through a consistent and simpleprogramming interface (an API, in developers jargon). In that schema,the web-based user interface, the command-line tools and theunattended installation are built on top of that generic API.

But previous versions of Agama were full of quirks that didn'tallow us to define an API that would match our quality standards as asolid foundation to build a simple but comprehensive installer. Agama19 represents a quite significant architectural overhaul, needed toleave all those quirks behind and to define mechanisms that can be thecornerstone for any future development.
