Release

We're proud to announce the final 0.2 release of the Aegir hosting system for Drupal.

Ægir is a set of contributed modules for Drupal that aims to solve the problem of managing a large number of Drupal sites. It does this by providing you with a simple Drupal based hosting front end for your entire network of sites. To deploy a new site you simply have to create a new Site node. To backup or upgrade sites, you simply manage your site nodes as you would any other node.

This release is the final release of our 0.2 development cycle, which has been focused on complete support for running multiple concurrent Drupal releases, and managing upgrades of sites between Drupal releases. The only changes from the release candidate were some miscellaneous bug fixes and bringing the system in line with the Drush 2.0 final release.

This release has been focussed on improving some our experimental multi-client functionality, as well as fixing bugs for our final release.

Aegir is in code freeze, and only bug fixes and usability improvements will be allowed in. The final release of Aegir will occur shortly after the 2.0 final release of Drush, and we will only be making changes to Aegir to maintain compatibility with Drush upstream.

This release is feature complete with the main roadmap of Aegir. It will allow you to install, back up, restore, enable, disable and delete your hosted sites. We were originally considering releasing an extra release candidate to make sure the first release was really rock solid, but since 0.2 (HEAD) progressed so quickly, we are now shortening the release cycle. We therefore want to shorten the release cycle to get more features out and favour greater adoption.

This release constitutes the feature complete state of our first release. It will allow you to install, back up, restore, enable, disable and delete your hosted sites. It also provides a very complete installation wizard to help you configure your server, and excellent support for importing sites you may already have running.

I have just published the 0.1 Alpha 3 release of the Hostmaster 2 site instance management platform.

This is a much smaller bug fix release, which also includes some documentation we missed in the previous release. This release has also been tested with Drupal 5.8.

I have also updated the installation wizard walkthrough, and the user interface walkthrough is still current.
