After a long development period, we're ready to introduce the first "release candidate" of OSNews version 4. OSN4 is a very big change for us - for years, we've worked with the mantra "We render everywhere." We are still using MySQL and PHP, like in Eugenia's OSNews v2, but with the sudden prevalence of newer web technologies, we've decided that in order to really offer the best platform for our readers, it was time to enter a brave new world. Read on for details and the link.

The features seem real nice. The design less so. My comments about it (sorry if I'm repeating other posts here, didn't read them all)
- Others mention that the text is too much on the left side - I think its OK, we are just too much used to the current layout
- The main menu is unattractive though. How about rounding the corners, making the gray lighter?
- The big "Submit news" is silly, but i guess its temporary
- I would move the recommend/email/print buttons to the page where the full article is and nove comment count next to the title
- The green gradient background needs to go. But that might be my personal taste
- On the right side all the links in black bold letters - its really not obvious that they are links
edit: umm the ultra-green under the title of my post hurts my eyes a bit
