agov 7.x-1.0-beta6

Beta6 contains a number of new features, accessibility improvements, and large number of bug fixes.

New Features

• Simplified theme structure: we removed the sub-theme structures and consolidated them into the agov_base theme and provided a simple way to switch through the colour schemes in the theme settings page. We also reverted back to Seven as the default admin theme. IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from previous beta releases, please make sure you take a backup of your theme and block settings, as they will be lost. We will begin supporting an upgrade path once we have a full release of aGov.
• Replaced the homepage slideshow: The homepage slideshow now uses a new 'slide' content type which can link to any other content or even external links. Previous beta versions required flagging 'articles' to appear in the slideshow.
• Accessibility improvements aGov has gone through an external assessment by Vision Australia which resulted in a large number of accessibility improvements.
• Installer improvements: We improved the speed and stability of the installer, and fixed bugs which now allow aGov to be installed by drush, which makes for easier deployment via command-line.
• AGLS metatags improvements aGov now sets up some common site-wide default values for AGLS metatags
• Canberra timezone is now included
• Google Analytics is now included

Bug Fixes

• Over 70 bug fixes and improvements
