[albatross-users] Welcome to Albatross-users

[Andrew McNamara]

Since the list has been rather quiet, I thought I would just say "welcome"
to the 3 non-Object Craft subscribers on the list!

I have some questions for you:

  - Are you using Albatross or just considering it?
  - Do you have any suggestions regarding the module or it's documentation?
  - Do you have any questions?

We expect to do a 0.06 release shortly, as well as announcing the mailing
list more widely - this release contains:

  - many documentation improvements,
  - a samples installer,
  - MD5 signing of hidden field data (which required a new "secret"
    parameter to app objects utilising the HiddenField mixin),
  - tag parsing now accepts either single or double quotes in attributes,
    as well as allowing the quotes to be escaped with backslash.
  - a new file based session recorder to supplement the hidden field
    and session server recorders,
  - a wrapper around the session server to allow it to be easily used
    as a daemon on unix platforms,
  - more unit tests, unit tests now use the current albatross instance,
    rather than the installed instance.
