6.x-1.0 release candidate 1:

Now the rules admin UI is created by a separated module, the update procedure is going to enable it for you.
After updating, run update.php, then load the "admin/build/modules" page once. (This ensures the rules cache is cleared.)

New features:
added the possibility to tag rules and rule sets
added the possibility to export by category.

General improvements:
#358649: Improved the page redirect action: Now it can postpone the redirect without relying on another redirect. As an affect the redirect property for events isn't necessary any more. Postponing the redirect is the default now.
#391396 added a further note that the rules simpletest module is not required
improved rules_use_action() and rules_use_conditon() to take an optional parameter for adding a label
added some further upgrade notes regarding the workflow-ng extension modules

UI improvements:
#397218: Moved administration UI into a separated module. Run update.php.
#394680: changed the rule settings fieldset to be collapsed by default on the rule edit screen
Don't show the edit operation for rule sets, as clicking on the label does the same.
improved rule weight description text
#300729 changed example rules und rule sets to don't be "default configurations", so users can delete them. Run update.php!

Upgrade notes:
If you are using the token module, make sure to have a version later than the dev snapshot from 27.08.08. If you are unsure, just upgrade to the latest dev snapshot.
If you are using content profile 6.x-1.0 beta3 upgrade to the latest content profile development snapshot. The rules integration in content profile's beta3 is faulty and causes some warnings in the rules UI.
