Drupal 6.0 released today!

I'm happy that finally Drupal 6 is out, about a month after Joomla 1.5 has been released.

After one year of development we are ready to release Drupal 6.0 to the world. Thanks to the tireless work of the Drupal community, over 1,600 issues have been resolved during the Drupal 6.0 release cycle. These changes are evident in Drupal 6's major usability improvements, security and maintainability advancements, friendlier installer, and expanded development framework. Further, from bug fix to feature request, these issues follow-through on the Drupal project's continued commitment to deliver flexibility and power to themers and developers.

It was a rather long wait since last summer I was expecting Drupal 6 before the end of the year, but now it's done... I only have a dozen sites worth upgrading to do!

What is great about Drupal 6, for me, is the multiple languages support because I create websites both in english and in french. There's also drag and drop functionalities in the admin area which will make it easier to work with. I already was using the Administration Menu module to quickly access the admin pages, and now it is fast to work within the page too!

But there are many more improvements since the last version of Drupal, and you can read most of them on the official announcement post here. The easy way is watching some screencast videos about Drupal 6...

Thank you to the developpers for improving my favorite toy!

You can do it, if you don't do it for me, do it for someone else, anybody, I don't care, could be for Obama or for the pope, but do it NOW before it's too late! Please, pretty please?
