We’re happy to announce the release of Orange Squeeze 1.0.7.  This is the 7th maintenance release of Orange Squeeze, and quite possibly the best so far.  At least, we hope so.

It almost seems like we’re on a schedule… as if we were planning these things. We’ve developed a sort of pattern.  We start the week out by wrapping up the work from last week and the weekend.  We confidently declare that this is “the last planned maintenance release” until we start rolling out new development/feature releases.  Well, who knows.  I’ve grown too humble to make any more predictions like that.  There’s a very real possibility we’ll have a blog entry 7 days from now releasing 1.0.8, and that’s actually OK.

In all seriousness, here’s the changelog for this release:
