Release notes 

GnoMenu is a serious attempt to bring eye candy abilities to the Gnome Menu. Based on “Vista Start Menu” by Chris Hughes, whom seems to have discontinued development of the original project. It was picked up for further development by Helder Fraga.
Helder has since forked the project and renamed it to GnoMenu. Its current incarnation is 1.6.
 GnoMenu is released under the GNU/GPL Version 3 software license.
