It's been a hell of a time getting Drigg for Drupal 6 out the door, but this afternoon Tony Mobily has released this long-delayed update to this Digg-like module for Drupal. Eleven months after the first Drigg for Drupal 5 release and nine months after Drupal 6.0 was released, yes, it's finally here!

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!
