Drupal 6 was released this last week. I've been checking it out through the betas and release candidate releases. Its a soid release with something for everyone.

Developers get under the hood improvements like a new streamlined version of the Form API.

Don't get complacent though and update without backing up first.  

I hope my other 6 drupal sites update as easily as this one.

By the way - I've gotten in the habit of not overwriting my sites/* folder on the server when updating. Is that cheating?

Here at http://geoffhankerson.com/drupal we have a new Drupal Screencast. So far we have screencasts on the Webform module, TinyMCE, TinyMCE Spellcheck and Teaser Break plugins as well as IMCE. Watch for a screencast on CCK node reference used on high profile sites like the New York Observer and The Rake magazine in the next day or two. After that perhaps I'll do one on the the Imagecache module.

• Get close to the Mic!  If you're more than about 6 inches from your mic - whether its an expensive condenser mic or an inexpensive usb headset mic combo, you need to be close to get the best sound. The further you are from the mic, the more background noise you introduce into signal. Be sure to address the front of the microphone.  Each microphone has a sweet spot. Spend some time finding your mic's sweet spot.
