I'm on the developer's list for the Serendipity blogging software I am using here. The group has been in a period of heavy activity, and we are just about ready to release S9Y 0.6. The Release Candidate 2 software was installed on this server this morning.

If RC2 looks relatively clean, the plan is to release 0.6 as Gold on Saturday 5/1. If you see anything funky, put a comment on this thread, and I'll forward those comments to the development team.

0.7 is already in heavy development, and the release of 0.6 will mean that all the developers can turn their attention to the 0.7 development tasks.

0.5 was released in February, the changes to 0.6 are huge, including:

-- Shared code library support (This blog and the Librarian's Rant share the same code base)

-- Image information moved to database

-- Imroved administrative back-end usability

-- Event plugins (blogroll pinging, email notification, etc...)

-- HTML validators

-- Many new plugins, including textile support

The biggest change for 0.7 will be the addition of multi-user support. There will be author, editor and superuser roles available.
