General Notes
- ZINC12 is not really ready for prime time. (May 3, 2011). However, it now contains enough new features to be interesting. Thus we are encouraging people to try it.
- ZINC12 will continue to change substantially over the summer of 2011. We expect it to stabilize around August, and which point we will freeze it and start work on ZINC13.
