2.0-rc3 released!

The Aegir team is pleased to announce the third release candidate for the upcoming Aegir 2.0 release.

This release mainly fixes a couple critical bugs in 2.0-rc2 that were causing problems when sites were being cloned or renamed. We've added a couple small features, such as additional options during hostmaster-install, and allowing the redirect to the Welcome page to be turned off. Also, we've made a small addition to the API, in that there is now a hook available (hook_provision_drupal_create_directories_alter()) to allow altering the directories created when a site installed.

In order to better support PHP 5.4, we have added a patch to Drupal core to suppress E_STRICT warnings. These were harmless, but annoying. They were caused by a changed in PHP error-reporting in PHP 5.4, and the Views module's maintainers' desire to remain backward compatible with PHP 4. For more details, see: #2060727: Patch Drupal core to suppress E_STRICT warnings on PHP5.4.

Note that a number of pending issues require a new stable release of Drush (5.10), so we will work with the Drush maintainers to help get a new release out.
