activitystream 6.x-2.x-dev

The 2.x-dev line contains the future version of the module. It is the
bleeding-edge code and the download is a daily snapshot of whatever is
in version control. The code may not be stable, isn't optimized for
performance, isn't as well tested, and might not even work. It should
not be used in production at all.

Major Features for 2.x

Ability to handle on-site activities. The stream can contain notices of node creations, comments on nodes, event signups, and other actions taken on the Drupal site.

Enhancements for high-volume sites. Improved update handling reduces the number of updates a site processes. Support fo the Job Queue module prevents cron time-outs with large numbers of users.
