So, what's new THIS release of a "server" (read: we don't know much about all that stable ABI and API business, but hey, we make this stuff easier than before)

Oh yes, the new "select-editor" command. Indeed. Suggesting people to use $EDITOR? You're a poisonous person, get out of our community!
Select-editor command
Running the
sudo select-editor
command now allows you to pick which editor will be used by default to edit documents.
I mean, seriously. 6 months for a new "server" version and that's all they could come up with? Probably only has "nano, pico, joe, kedit, gedit and Vigor" as options anywho. And most likely depends on Python and GTK2.
This release also featuring the all improved one of a kind "Uncomplicated Firewall". Apparently it just has an "on/off" switch.
