Great work Nick, Dufflebunk, Zero, and the rest of the team! It's been fun
working with you guys to get this put together... Its amazing how much work
you have all put into this. :)

Just a few quick notes about the install/upgrade:

1) If you dont run devel grimoire, you wont run this at the moment. Dont
worry about it.

2) If you DO run devel, dont switch to stable or testing after installing
this until sorcery 0.8 has made its way to those grimoires. In the words of
Egon, "It would be /bad/".

3) If you have already cast sorcery on your system, this update /should/ be
automatic with your next sorcery update (once the spell is in the grimoire).
You may not need to recast it as Nick says below. But if it isnt automatic,
just recast it. :)

In any case, the sorcery team has done a huge amount of work the past couple
weeks to get this ready. It's a pretty big jump, but the install/conversion
is not /that/ complex.. so bear with us as we get it sorted out, and get off
on the way to 1.0. :)

Enjoy!

-Ryan

Subject: [SM-Discuss] RELEASE: Sorcery 0.8.0 (1.0 BETA1)


> Hi Everyone,
>
>   The first of a series of releases leading us to sorcery 1.0 has been
>   made tonight. Sorcery version 0.8.0 is actually the first BETA release
>   of 1.0, it includes a subset of the planned features for 1.0
>
>   Please see the Release Notes:
>     http://wiki.sourcemage.org/index.php?page=Sorcery+0.8.0+Release+Notes
>
>   It's important to mention that users will not be able to update to
>   this release (properly), until the new sorcery spell (which I've
>   submitted already) is merged into the devel grimoire.
>
>   From there, users who track the devel grimoire can do a sorcery update
>   and get the new spell. Then you can perform a:
>
>   # cast -c -r sorcery
>
>   You will be asked if you wish to track (s)table or (d)evel, PLEASE
>   chose stable to track 0.8.x releases. As long as you stick to the
>   devel grimoire, everything will be OK and you will keep the new
>   sorcery release.
>
>   I'd like to thank the currently active members of the sorcery team,
>   Dufflebunk, and zero_the_hero, who have helped make this possible.
>   Also, our leader, Ryan Abrams, for helping with the release, and
>   his work on scribe.
>
>   Lets get testing! Please submit all bugs to bugzilla, Thanks.
