provision 6.x-0.2-rc1

Provision is a component of the Aegir hosting system.

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 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.

Note that this release is Drupal-version agnostic: it supports Drupal 5, 6 and 7 transparently and should not be installed in your modules directory.
