This afternoon we are releasing new functionality, bug fixes and security patches to our release of the Bryght Basic profile for VPS customers as part of the 2007-07-31 tag. While we haven't made any configuration changes, we've added the OpenID module, for logging into multiple sites ( more information about OpenID), Drupal or otherwise; the Persistent Login module, which adds "Remember me" checkbox at the bottom of the user login box; and the FeedBurner module ( more information about FeedBurner and its services), so you can redirect your RSS feeds to FeedBurner to keep track of statistics and add other features the service provides. Documentation on setting up and using those modules is forthcoming.

We have not yet deployed these changes for Bryght Lite hosted service customers.

The tag includes the official Drupal 5.2 release, which incorporates some security patches—see below for some special instructions regarding settings.php—and various bug fixes. Also, VPS customers can send Drupal system messages to Syslog, which lets you route them to a log file or to another monitoring service. (System messages can still be logged in the database using the new "Database logging" module.).

Update: those who retrieved the tag last night will want to run svn update, as we added some very minor fixes to the .info files of some of the modules.
