[ANN] Radiant 0.6.5 Release Candidate 1

Radiant 0.6.5 has been a long time coming!  And just to be sure, we want
to release a candidate or two to make sure we have everything solid.  
There are some really major changes in this release, and here's the two
big ones:

* Rails 2.0.2 included
* RSpec is used in core and supported in extensions

You can download the Radiant 0.6.5 RC1 from
http://radiantcms.org/downloads/radiant-0.6.5-RC1.gem.

This release candidate is intended for developers and is NOT intended
for production use.  Please report any bugs you find to the development
site at http://dev.radiantcms.org/.

==  Installation

To install use the gem command (with 'sudo' as necessary):

  $ gem install radiant-0.6.5-RC1.gem

The gem will install as 'radiant-0.6.5'.

=== Upgrading an existing project/site

1. Change the RADIANT_GEM_VERSION constant in config/environment.rb to
"0.6.5"

2. Update the Radiant assets in your project:

  $ rake radiant:update

3. Copy your customizations back into config/environment.rb, if
necessary (see below).

4. Migrate the database if you are running 0.6.2 or earlier:

  $ rake production db:migrate

5. Restart the server

=== Creating a new project/site

1. Invoke the 'radiant' command with your desired database driver:

  $ radiant -d sqlite3 my_project

2. Bootstrap the database:

  $ cd my_project
  $ rake db:bootstrap

3. Startup the server and try it out!

  $ script/server

== Internal Changes to config/environment.rb

This release has required a lot of changes to the internal API of
Radiant.  End-users should be unaffected, but as a result of these
requirements, we have made significant changes to config/environment.rb
and config/boot.rb.  When updating your existing projects,
config/environment.rb will be copied to config/environment.bak.  You
will need to manually copy any customizations, especially
config.extensions and any other libraries, etc. that you require.  *DO
NOT* copy config.load_paths, config.plugin_paths, or any of those items
to the new file; those settings have been internalized in this release.

Thanks again for everyone's contributions!

Cheers,

Sean
