I've been really out of the loop for a while, what are the differences between 1.1 and 1.2?

Hi Carl!

1.2 has some CSS/HTML usability issues covered, especially in the admin backend.

Spamblock plugin is enhanced (trackback IP validation), better cookie encryption, sending pingbacks is fixed, userlevel configuration and the dreaded 'no create' privilege thing is moved to user management instead of personal config.

But probably the most important feature: The admin backend is now templatable (overview/main page, entry editor) and that the plugin API has been altered a bit to allow external authentication schemes like OPenID.

Regards,
Garvin

I saw that Microsoft just opened up their Passport (or whatever they call it) authentication scheme. Would we be able to incorporate that, too? Is it as simple as a plugin?
