[ckan-dev] CKAN releases?

Wed Sep 19 13:18:53 UTC 2012

Cheers Toby. Some potentially useful refactoring in there and other
useful things for the developers. And here's my summary of the major
features as the user will see it:

1.8
 * Users can 'follow' a dataset
 * An activity feed on each user page
( See Changelog here: https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/master/CHANGELOG.txt )

2.0
 * New UI
 * Runs a bit faster
