This release marks the first effort to port the Aegir frontend to Drupal 6. This version has known bugs which keep it from being released in full along with the Drupal 5 version. We still wish to make this release available to speed up testing and make sure we don't lag too much between the two versions.

So this release focuses on porting the frontend to Drupal 6. Amongst other thing, this means integration with the Drupal 6 install profile wizard API, which allows us to remove a lot of crud and hacks from the hosting module.
