Well, I don't need to go into the history as you've all seen the video, but five months ago a project that had been brewing in my mind for a while started taking form and now I'm thrilled to announce the first official release of Pinax.

Thanks to Brian Rosner, Greg Newman, Jannis Leidel and Eric Florenzano—the core team—as well as the authors of additional third party apps we used and people who provided translations, bug reports, etc.

There'll hopefully be a number of big Pinax news items here over the next couple of months, but for now, you can join in the fun and download 0.5.0 from the Pinax Download Page.
