activitystream 6.x-2.0-beta1

This is the next generation of Activity Stream. This release focuses on performance for high volume sites, additional metadata like importing tags and geotagging from stream sources, and structuring the module to allow for local activities to appear as stream sources ("Joe left a comment on...").
