[Uni-verse] Software release

[Lauri Savioja]

Hi Gert,

It is much better now!

I still have one suggestion related to the tutorial. Now most of the
page is devoted to Loq Airou and a reader might get an illusion that
the expression (Uni-Verse == Loq Airou) evaluates to true. For this
reason I suggest that we move the cube-drawing part to a different
page titled something like 'Cube in Loq Airou - step-by-step' and in
the Uni-Verse Tutorial link to this new page. By this means the
tutorial gets shorter and is more balanced between different tools.

For a more thorough Tutorial it would be nice to include a renderer
and connector as well. By this means there would be more reasonable
use for connector as well, and more parts would get introduced.

Regards,
	Lauri
