i'm having a weird experience trying to use a d6 platform
i successfully installed 0.1 with a drupal 5 platform
then i added a d6 platform - following the instructions on the 0.1 release page
tried adding a site (which is actually a subdomain of the main domain - i.e. d6test.example.com where example.com points to the main ip of my server)
i go to that site and do the password reset thingie
then when i log into that site it looks like the main hostmaster install, NOT a drupal content site like I expected (and see with the sites i launched on the drupal 5 platform)

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

Ægir is a new 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 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.

I pushed through with some of the changes I was making on monday, and implemented a mechanism for provision to conditionally include version specific code. What this means, is that 1 checkout of provision, will now have all the information it needs to manage any supported version of Drupal you throw at it.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we're very close to releasing RC2. We're just putting a last bit of polish on the permissions system.

Just a quick note that we have moved the development channel from #hm2 to the new, official, #aegir on irc.freenode.net

Please change autojoins to point to the new channel instead.

As our 0.1 release is nearing, I have been making some steps toward our 0.2 release. The onus for this progress has been some really exciting changes happening upstream in the Drush project.

Our 0.1 release was originally only going to manage a Drupal platform, with no support for hosting sites on Drupal 6. As the project wore on, we realized we needed to become invested in Drupal 6 very quickly, so we ported only the back end to Drupal 6, and have been maintaining the releases in parallel.

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. It is considered mostly production ready, and should be safe to run on a production system.

This release will become the first RC in the next week, if no more bugs are found. The only changes that will be allowed into this release
are documentation and bug fixes.

Over the last few days the Aegir repositories have seen a lot of action. Most notably is that we will
now be shipping our first release with working, but still experimental support for multiple platforms.

What this means, is that you will be able to manage multiple Drupal code bases with a single install of
the hosting front end.

To simplify the process of creating a new backend system, we have built the <a href='http://drupal.org/project/hostslave>HostSlave install profile.

To turn a new drupal checkout into a viable platform, you install the hostslave platform onto it, then go into the directory
and run the 'provision setup' command, and then add it as a platform node to your hostmaster. You will now be able
to provision sites on the new platform.
