[ZendTo] ZendTo beta status

[Jules]

tl;dr - stabilising.

Folks,

I've been spewing out beta releases pretty rapidly over the past few days.

There are only 2 big things on my ToDo list for ZendTo now, and they are 
going to wait a bit so I can have a rest over Easter.

So the current beta and its installer should be stable for a fair while now.
I would very much like it to become a full "production" release 
(allowing for urgent bug-fixes of course).

So I would be *really* grateful if some of you could try it out for me 
and let me know if you hit any major problems.

It has some really cool new features that I have added since version 
4.20, and I hope that your users will find these improvements to their 
liking. Full details are in the ChangeLog (zend.to/changelog.php).

To make life easier for you, there are now 2 tools to help you upgrade 
from a previous release:
     /opt/zendto/bin/upgrade_preferences_php
     /opt/zendto/bin/upgrade_zendto_conf
Just run them without any command-line parameters and they will show you 
how to use them.
If you are either doing a fresh install or migrating to a newer 
platform, the beta installer will do all the heavy lifting for you. Run 
it as root and keep thumping Return.

You can read about the beta and its installer here:

Many thanks!

P.S. The 2 major items on the todo list are Shibboleth/ADFS 
authentication support, and i18n multi-language support.

Jules
