Drupal 6.0 Beta 1 released
After eight months of development, we are proud to announce the release of the first beta version of the Drupal 6.x family.
News from Drupal Website
This beta includes a tremendous number of new features and new programming APIs for both users and developers. We improved Drupal's human language related features, interoperability with databases, logging solutions, sign-on systems and also included an update notification module for improved security, so it becomes easier than ever to get up to date with the latest security and bug fixes.
It is important to note that this beta version should not be used for production sites. We've resolved most errors reported so far, but there are outstanding known issues and most likely some problems that have not been reported as of yet. It is expected that there will be at least one more beta version followed by at least one release candidate before Drupal 6.0 is finalized. You can help us reach the final release date sooner by testing this beta and providing feedback.
Download the beta
Download the Drupal 6.0 beta 1 package. Installation instructions are included in the package; see the INSTALL.txt file for more information.
We hope you enjoy testing this new beta, and await the final release with as much anticipation as we do.
