Release Candidate 1 of Drupal 5
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.

Developers, We are getting even closer to a Drupal 5 release and module conversion continues to be an important factor. Here is an updated list of module compatibility: we are up to 41% compatibility from 29% in Heine's December 15th summary. I included a link to the relevant issue for projects without a 5.x-compatible branch, so if you are interested please help module maintainers with their conversions. Check out Doug Green's coder module (http://drupal.org/project/coder) for assistance in porting modules from 4.7 to 5.0.

Chris, Thank you for this great resource I'm sure it took some time to assemble. I was just beginning my own roundup for the same purpose. Very much appreciated. Ill put together a CVS test site and try and make some headway on the remaining modules in the area of testing/patching. The progress already is encouraging as I didn't know some of the modules on your list had actually been branched already. Thanks again, 1 beer on me when we meet next week at the gingerman. -- Michael Favia michael@favias.org tel. 512.585.5650 http://michael.favias.org
Can we get an additional list of 'Popularity by downloads' and a 'Popularity by pingback' here too? For comparison.
