This announcement is aimed at developers. Please take note that we have set up the DRUPAL-4-5 branch name. If you maintain a theme or module in the contributions repository, now is the time to make it compatible with Drupal 4.5. All 4.5 versions should be branched using the DRUPAL-4-5 branch name. Instructions about our CVS policy and about how to branch are available in the FAQ.
After your module has been branched properly, it will automatically (and periodically) be packaged. Within 24 hours, the module will become available at the download page and the corresponding project pages will be updated accordingly.
A first Drupal 4.5.0 release candidate will be made available as soon the most prominent contributed themes and modules have been branched.
