First release of Steam available for download

You can now download Steam Framework 1.0.0 from the download page. Although there haven't been many recent changes in the repository, today I decided to bundle it all up and upload the archive. It's extremely easy to get it up and running and a simple example application is included.

Steps:
1. download and extract the files from the archive
2. configure apache to serve the content in the directory (subdomain+vhost)
3. download the latest minimal Zend Framework package
4. extract it to the Zend directory in the libraries directory
5. (optional) download and extract the Minify library
6. use your browser to access the web folder!

If you still don't see anything, you will need to edit the configuration/.htaccess file for to suit your needs.

If it's working you will see a very plain book catalog application. The next step is to play around with it and have some fun!
