This morning I woke up to a very nice bit of news: Drupal 5.0 has been released.

We use Drupal for lots of our projects and are active contributors of patches and modules for Drupal. So it's really nice when the latest version with all the new features and bugfixes is released. The release announcement lists all the great new features by the categories of Usability Improvements, New Features, and "For developers". And being a firm focused on design and development, we're excited by all three.

There is a celebratory post where people can post comments on the new release and it is climbing the news over at Digg.
