A lot of features have been added to this release. I was trying to get this out before Thanksgiving - while I don't think there are any large outstanding bugs, some configuration methods need to be ironed out. In the upcoming releases, watch out for an automatic setup utility to do the installation work for you, and even a configuration utility to handle configuring already existing installations. The User Authentication and Database work are coming along quite well, expect another release soon. This work is all in CVS, but will be included in the next release.
Feature requests are welcome, as are bug reports, and general comments.
There was a problem many noticed in the previous versions of OpenThought where Apache continually segfaulted. The problem was due to the shared lib version of expat - on many systems, expat is also compiled into Apache. On these systems, Apache didn't know which version to use, and would segfault. There is a fix for this problem included in the distribution. Also, this installation procedure has changed.
