3 years on air!

Our project has been publicly available for 3 years by now! It's hard to believe but time passes so fast. I like measuring the progress by statistics, so here are some interesting facts about what we have achieved during these 3 years:

• 36 releases! it is exactly 1 release per month on the average;
• 20 people have made 4658 commits in our repository, of which 2284 are in the main branch;
• 804 tasks completed;
• 27242 downloads of just the core packages;
• 165 plugins added to the downloads section;
• main branch code base has grown from 30k lines to 63k lines of code.

Quite impressive, isn't it? And how about the birthday present? Here it is! It's called "Siena 0.9.7" and it contains over 30 bugfixes and over 10 enhancements among which there are:

• Improved versioning and dependency checks in Administration / Extensions

Now it's time to celebrate!
