The Aegir team is is pleased to announce the fifth release candidate for the upcoming Aegir 2.0 release!

This release ships a ton of bugfixes we have found in RC4. We also finalised subdirectory support which, while it still has some issues, is now actually working correctly, even on multiple servers. The IP allocation code for SSL on multiple servers was also fixed, making this probably the most solid multi-server Aegir release ever. We also did some API cleanups that seemed necessary before the final 2.0 release.

Finally, we should also mentionned that the install process was significantly sped up thanks to the use of Drupal.org distributions to ship a single tarball for the hostmaster platform instead of using a makefile to build it from its parts all the times. During out tests, the platform make step went from 60 seconds to 1.5 seconds, an amazing improvement!
