Getting ready for IzPack 3.10.0-RC1

IzPack 3.10 is getting ready! Here is the splash screen picture that will be displayed on the language selection box:

Of course the changes are not limited to this cosmetic refreshment The code freeze (+ 3.10.0-RC1) is planned for tomorrow. The next release will contain many fixes contributed by JBoss/RedHat (remember that their JemsInstaller is IzPack-based). Other fixes and improvements will be part of this release, thanks to the hard work from our developers and contributors.
