The Islandora project announces an RC1 candidate for our Q1 2011 release. We invite the community to download and help us test this candidate in anticipation of our full release. Highlights: RC1 introduces a new solution pack architecture, which allows for simplified content model installation. We have also added a tabs-based UI for content models. If you are upgrading from previous Islandora modules you *must* run update.php in order to use this new release candidate.
