Hi all,
The second run at the upgrade (drupal 4.7 and CiviCRM 1.5) appears to have been successful. There are many, many new features such as:

• the ability to clone events
• ability to create repeating events
• streamlined create event page w/a clickable date/time calendar
  
• textareas that you can resize as you type.
• Provides user message when navigating away from a form with unsaved changes.
• Provide a "Remember Me" checkbox in the login form.
• we now also have the ability to display events from other sites via RSS.

We also plan of bring a number of additional features in the coming weeks.

cheers,

Jeremy
