r4 -- parmesan
Hello, and welcome to Release 4, nicknamed "Shrimp". It's actually nicknamed "Parmesan"! I got ahead of myself. :) In any case, there's a lot of stuff going out in this release.
We haven't started on this yet, and probably won't for about another hour two, but I wanted to get this posted. To that end, if there's something on this list that hasn't yet taken effect, just hold tight. (And if anything goes weird or broken, feel free to comment!)
Updates/Enhancements -- New Stuff
Updates/Enhancements -- Various and Sundry
Bugfixes -- S2 layouts (Many from the S2 Bounty in
lj_dev!)
Bugfixes -- Other
