Yesterday, we ran out of critical bugs. That means that the first release candidate of Drupal 5 is ready! You can see the announcement at <http://drupal.org/drupal-5.0-rc1>. About 122 bugs and performance improvements, big and small have been fixed since beta 2 <http://drupal.org/node/103420>. As you can read in the announcement, now is the time to start updating and releasing your modules. I've appended a list of important modules. The listed modules were downloaded more then 1000 times in the month October. Whether a module is available for Drupal 5.x was solely indicated by its presence on the 5.x download page. Remember: adoption of Drupal 5 depends for a large part on the available modules.
