Changes since 6.x-2.0-rc2:

• #1940378: Fix PHP 5.4 warning by initializing an object variable prior to assigning properties.
• Use custom functions for block visibility.
• #2050881: Call drush.php via php, since it isn't executable when installed via PEAR.
• Allow the redirect to the welcome page to be turned off.
• Enable platform site-list block, since it had to be renamed.

The Aegir team is pleased to announce the first release candidate for the upcoming Aegir 2.0 release.

This release mainly targets a few critical bugs that were found in the second beta, mostly related to ongoing Views, Drush integration and access control. We also introduce a number of new features and finally drop support for provisioning Drupal 5 sites completely (for real this time!). Along the way, we did quite a bit of API cleanup.

* Feature freeze begins, only critical and major bug fixes will be
committed.
* A few bugfixes, especially to the Debian package, the new views code
and nginx support.
* This release adds subdirectory support, a nice homepage and fixes SSL
support and IP allocation on clusters. We also ship with a wider
variety of roles.
* Full release notes at http://community.aegirproject.org/2.0-beta1

This is mostly to allow us to tag issues properly.

This is the third alpha for the 0.4 release of the Aegir hosting system.

API change: more parameters to domain validation

instead of just passing nid and port, we now pass an array of
parameters, which will usually be a array version of the node object.

hooks can now validate against a client and such.

This release marks the first effort to port the Aegir frontend to Drupal 6. This version has known bugs which keep it from being released in full along with the Drupal 5 version. We still wish to make this release available to speed up testing and make sure we don't lag too much between the two versions.

So this release focuses on porting the frontend to Drupal 6. Amongst other thing, this means integration with the Drupal 6 install profile wizard API, which allows us to remove a lot of crud and hacks from the hosting module.
