commit 63816328211a36dfd161a6ccde6728addce99b6a
Author: Mohammad Akhlaghi <address@hidden>
Date:   Mon May 30 21:12:41 2016 +0900

    NEWS file and webpage updated for version 0.1
    
    Thew news file was updated in preparation for the first public release
    (version 0.1). There were a lot of changes since the last update of the
    NEWS file, but those changes are not a major concern the Gnuastro users at
    this stage (that the libraries are not yet installable).
    
    The webpage was also updated to include the links and remove the previous
    notice (that the source code is not available).
