Drupal 4.7.0

Pigs can fly: Drupal 4.7 is out!

Update: check out the awesome new Drupal videocasts by the guys from Lullabot (and be sure to digg up the link on digg.com).

This is definitely the best Drupal release ever. It's a bit late, but the huge amount of new things more than make up for it. In particular, check out some of the Ajax features (file uploading, updating, ...) and the new improved search. I spent quite some time developing them ;).

Yesterday I was collecting the contributor and commit statistics for the announcement, when I was quite stunned:
There have been over 338 contributors to this latest release with over 1500 patches which is almost triple our previous record with Drupal 4.6 of 523 commits by 50 developers.

Yes, those numbers are correct. The Drupal project issues with file attachments were posted by 338 different people. 1500 patches got applied. We've not just tripled our productivity, but increased our developer group by 575%!.
