Thank you all for all the work. I am amazed at how many sites there are that are already using the new theme with their color scheme. This is going to be a revolution of what the web looks like!

How long before the download updates? The link says 5.0 but the file name is 5.0 beta 2.

Never mind a blink later and it's fixed!

HoooooooooooY! congrats drupal!

Dear Drupal,

we have been friends for a long time already.
I am glad that you seem to be healthy and well,
furthermore, I see you getting stronger and stronger each day.

Even though we are parted geographically (I live in Lithuania),
I feel that our bonds are stronger than ever.

Wishing you all the best in your future activities.

Sincerely,
Marius

I see that jQuery also had a birthday. According to http://jquery.com/blog/, jQuery 1.1 was released earlier today.

Is the jQuery 1.1 compressed .js file a safe "drop-in" upgrade to Drupal 5.0 sites?

Thanks!

And the great day come at last!! I'm so happy :)

Happy Birthday Drupal!

I've successfully upgraded my D5RC2 installation at www.pixor.co.uk without a hitch. Thanks for all your hard work :-)

Drupal Lithuania community upgraded and it works great! Thanks to the all Drupal team.

Good News for all drupalites

and happy birthday and congratulations for drupal

Mr Penna

Such a cool release. I've already upgraded my site to 5.0: http://all.ofthe.info/node/52

Congratulations and thanks to all involved in this release! It's a big improvement over the 4.x series and well worth the increase to 5.x. I'm certain the web-based install and the new cleaner GUI will lead to a significant increase in the uptake of Drupal.

Happy Birthday to Drupal, and many thanks to everyone who contributed to the release of 5.0. I had just started building a site on 4.7, but put a hold on it once I played around with RC1 and saw the nice little improvements. I look forward to getting back on track and launching my site soon.

http://www.autoconcourse.com (coming soon)

Amazing. Exciting. Awesome.

Will be upgrading my websites soon!!!

Just perfect timing... Go Drupal!

We would be converting all our client sites to Drupal 5.0.. It will be fun!

Drupal Five is great! I did smooth and fast upgrade to 5 on www.artkerala.com

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this happen!

Is there a page somewhere that lists an overview of all of the changes/enhancements/upgrades within 5.0, particulary vis-a-vis 4.7.x? (Something a bit more user-friendly than install notes/change logs included in the tarball, hopefully...)

Thank you.

great news. Thanks to all the people involved in this release.

Woo hoo! Fantastic news! :)


www.hockeycircle.net is now drupal 5.0 powered!

Nice to hear that, so i decided to move my site from wordpress to drupal.

-------------------
My blog

Upgraded 3 out of 5 sites with no problems. Directions work great. Good thing I stuck with well-supported modules. It goes so well, I no longer upgrade backup sites for testing. Beautiful. Thanks so much. Dugg. Bravo.

I have installed the brand new production version on www.pitschek.com and it works perfect. A lot of new features and very stable.

Thx for the excellent work to all...

I had some issues upgrading to 5.0, tried several times over but I always got "Page not found" finally I did the smart thing and checked the log to find out that drupal was looking for /frontpage. So I just restored my db backup again and disabled the frontpage redirect before trying the upgrade again. No problems... In retrospect I realize it might have also worked to simply install the frontpage module for 5.0 before upgrading, but I haven't tried it...

I hope this helps someone aviod the frustration I felt dealing with this problem!

Good luck all!

Oops I'm late! Still awesome :) thanks to the team.

Independent as we often need to be, Drupal is always worth a recommendation.
And we come back time and time again to you.
You just fit so many cases.

Install was actually very similar to WP (which I mean as a compliment). I had my site up and running in minutes. I had some issues with a funny host and clean URLs but the support forums here got me up and running fast. I'm so impressed.

I just got my first look at the new Drupal ..... wow .... I'll be up all night playing!

Congratulations, I personally think that the new installer, very organized admin navigation and cleaner look and feel was what Drupal needed to push it far over the edge from other CMS's. It's AWESOME!

I can't wait to upgrade!

Julie

I just upgraded to 5.x from 4.7 and am currently looking at the administration page in awe! I still have a lot of work to do before I'll consider putting my site back online, but I had to take the time to congratulate and thank everyone who has worked on this for their great efforts.

This rocks! :)

Drupal 5.1 sure looks good, though I had a lot of trouble upgrading from my 4.6 version. And the login doesn't work in IE.
