-It is with a huge sigh of relief that I announce this first beta of

+Version 0.7 introduces far too many features to list here. I've put
+together a What's New page:

+  http://roundup.sourceforge.net/doc-0.7/whatsnew-0.7.html
+
+Some highlights:
 
-- added postgresql backend (originally from sf patch 761740, many changes
-  since)
-- RDBMS backends implement their session and one-time-key stores and
-  full-text indexers; thus they are now performing their own locking
-  internally
-- added new "actor" automatic property (indicates user who cause the last
-  "activity")
-- all RDBMS backends have sensible data typed columns and indexes on
-  several columns
-- we support confirming registration by replying to the email (sf bug
-  763668)
-- all HTML templating methods now automatically check for permissions
-  (either view or edit as appropriate), greatly simplifying templates
