   * New #showLinkbacks() macros displays Linkbacks for day
   
MetaWeblog API
   * Support for both Blogger API and MetaWeblog API
   * Allows both titles and categories from w.bloggar and other clients.

General
   * Simplified main page is much faster than before
   * Main page displays most recent posts and most popular blogs
   * Main page RSS feed aggregates all posts on site   
   * Remember-me feature for logins

I don't expect Anthony to upgrade FreeRoller until the final release.
