Known issues:
• None (some kde packages are still at rc version and might cause problems)

Neptune 3.0 will ship with an updated zevenoshardwaremanager which not only uses the qml plasma core components from KDE Plasma but also comes with a handy new feature showing you the version number of the graphicsdriver you can install.
If you have the debian experimental source enabled it will allow you to choose which driver to install.

If you are using Neptune 3.0 Beta it is available as update.

The Neptune unstable server for Neptune 2.x were down for maintenance and are up again.
