Drupal 4.7.0 beta 4 released

Well, Drupal 4.7.0 beta 4 has just released last night. I am going to upgrade howforge.com and see what is going on. There are several successful upgrade from beta 3. I will be the next one.

Just in time for DrupalCon 2006, Vancouver, the Drupal development team is pleased to announce the fourth beta release of Drupal 4.7.0! It is available for immediate download at http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-4.7.0-beta4.tar.gz. This beta release is hopefully the final beta release for Drupal 4.7.0 and marks a significant improvement in the Drupal 4.7.0 codebase. Since beta 3, over 120 bugs have been fixed, bringing the total to nearly 300 bugs fixed since the first beta release. All of these changes are detailed in the changelog. However, there are still more bugs to be found, reported and fixed before a release candidate can be made. The good news is that, with your help, we can release Drupal 4.7.0 RC1 much sooner!

If you are Google Earth addict, you might notice that Google updated imagery of Google Earth and Google Local by higher resolution images. The announcement mentioned mainly to Google Earth in U.K. and some parts of Google Local. In addition, I just want to clearly state that it updated Thailand too. Now I can see my home clearer than ever.

We"re always trying to improve the imagery in and , but our latest update is bigger than usual. Not only have we added extensive 6-inch imagery for many parts of the U.K., but we"ve updated the Google Local database to match the coverage we have in Google Earth, and (drum roll, please) ... we"ve added two more zoom levels in Google Local"s Satellite mode! Now for many areas around the world you can see a lot more detail than you could before.
