Signup module supports CCK date fields and is now available for Drupal 6

After a successful fundraising effort and a lot of hard work, I'm pleased to announce that the Signup module has made some major leaps forward in the recent past:

• Supports CCK date fields for reminder emails and auto-close functionality (#86462). You can have both event and date enabled on the same site. For CCK date node types, you select which date field you want to use for signup functionality when configuring the node type.
• Ported to Drupal 6, Views2, etc. The 6.x-1.0-rc1 release candidate is now out.

There are a ton of other improvements too numerous to list here. For details, check out the 5.x-2.6 and 5.x-2.5 release notes.

For D5, the 5.x-2.* release series is now in feature-freeze, and is the recommended stable release. 5.x-1.1 is recently out and will probably be the last bug fix release for the 5.x-1.* series. Folks are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest 5.x-2.* (currently 5.x-2.6) ASAP. If there's enough interest (and funding) for new features in D5, those will happen in a future 5.x-3.* series.

In D6, the 6.x-1.* series is now feature-frozen, too. New features will go into the forthcoming 6.x-2.* series.

Happy event managing!

p.s. Just in time to NOT be included in the new Drupal O'Reilly book. /me sighs... ;) They even have a whole chapter about event management, and my poor little module only got a 1 sentence disparaging mention. And signup was originally sponsored by chief Lullabot jjeff himself! ;) Oh well, I know how it goes with trying to write books like that. At least they got to play with flag.module a lot, which is cool (and will hopefully be on drupal.org in the near future).
