Ægir is a set of contributed modules for Drupal that aims to solve the problem of managing a large number of Drupal sites. It does this by providing you with a simple Drupal based hosting front end for your entire network of sites. To deploy a new site you simply have to create a new Site node. To backup or upgrade sites, you simply manage your site nodes as you would any other node.

This is the third release candidate of the 0.3 branch. This release is a maintenance release and the only project goal is the porting of Aegir 0.2 to Drupal 6. As such the code base is already feature complete and only bug fixes will be accepted before the final release is made.

Fixes in this release include :
- fix lots of documentation fixes: #553230: INSTALL.txt documentation fixes / changes / improvements, #553202: Hosting 'Initial Setup' drush command requires --uri parameter or else looks up sites/default/settings.php, #550352: Documentation of install need some work and clean up
- fix install_profile_api dependency: #550696: install profile fails with Call to undefined function install_disable_theme(), #545168: fatal error on drush 'hosting setup' : hosting_get_queues() not found

This release marks the first effort to port the Aegir frontend to Drupal 6. This version has known bugs which keep it from being released in full along with the Drupal 5 version. We still wish to make this release available to speed up testing and make sure we don't lag too much between the two versions.

So this release focuses on porting the frontend to Drupal 6. Amongst other thing, this means integration with the Drupal 6 install profile wizard API, which allows us to remove a lot of crud and hacks from the hosting module.

This release is the first release candidate of our 0.2 development cycle, which has been focused on complete support for running multiple concurrent Drupal releases, and managing upgrades of sites between Drupal releases. This release has been focussed on improving some our experimental multi-client functionality, as well as fixing bugs for our final release.

Aegir is in code freeze, and only bug fixes and usability improvements will be allowed in. The final release of Aegir will occur shortly after the 2.0 final release of Drush, and we will only be making changes to Aegir to maintain compatibility with Drush upstream.
