 The final goal of the first part of the project is to make every Windows program load and operate properly, and the goal of the second part of the project is to create complete OS/2 implementation of Win32 API, which means that every single API function should be implemented or mapped to equivalent OS/2 API function via Odin32. Whether those goals will be ever achieved remains to be seen, but this project gives good results even now, since no Windows program uses all API functions and very few use even majority of them.

+== Latest Version ==
+The latest version is '''0.7.1''' released on 30.09.2011. The list of changes can be found in the [http://svn.netlabs.org/odin32/browser/tags/0.7.1/changelog ChangeLog] file.
+
+Starting from version '''0.7.1''', the primary way to distribute and install official builds of Odin is RPM. This means that all Odin components are provided as RPM packages which may be installed from either the netlabs RPM repositories using the YUM command or directly using the RPM command (the GUI frontend is on the way). In order to install RPM packages on your machine, you need to install the RPM bootstrap package (once) which contains the RPM installer. The installation of RPM is described [http://svn.netlabs.org/rpm/wiki/RpmInstall here] in detail. Once you have RPM installed, you may issue one of following commands to install various parts of Odin:
+
+||'''yum install libodin'''            ||Installs the basic Odin runtime needed for Odin-based and Odin-ized applications
+||'''yum install odin-doc'''           ||Installs the Odin user's manual
+||'''yum list *odin*'''                ||Lists all available Odin packages with short desctiptions
+
+Note that the first command is not normally needed -- if you install an Odin-based application from the RPM repository, it will install all required Odin components automatically. This command is only necessary if you have an Odin-based application distributed as a ZIP archive or in some other (non-RPM) form.
+
+We also provide a ZIP package of Odin for your convenience, if you cannot use RPM for some reason. You can download it [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/odin/0.7.1/odin-0.7.1.zip here].
