Radiant 1.0.0 Release Candidate 1

Announcing the first release candidate of Radiant 1.0.0.

The final 1.0 release will be the last on Rails 2. After that we’ll be focusing on moving forward with the rails framework.

There are a couple of changes that are worth mentioning, but see the CHANGELOG for the full details. What are some big changes?

• You can manage multiple page fields
• You have a default asset manager based on paperclipped
• You have a default stylesheet and javascript manager with support for Sass
• Radiant has moved to Rails 2.3.11

If you are an extension developer, begin upgrading now. The official release of 1.0 is just around the corner.

As always we welcome your feedback and contributions.
