This is a fairly thorough rewrite of the 1.x codebase, but it’s not a true rewrite because its core ideas are still pretty much the same. It’s been in the works for longer than I care to remember. Can’t bear to write anymore summaries about this release so you can read the email I sent out to relevant parties. (BTW, that first line of the mail should read “I am totally fucking ecstatic” instead of “I am happy”, but these are family lists…)
And yahoo, I made it before YAPC! And I left three whole days to get my presentation done before the PA burg bash on Saturday and then YAPC on Monday. Way too much time, maybe I'll try to learn a new presentation technology in the meantime...
