StatusNet 0.9.2

StatusNet 0.9.2 ("King of Birds") is a minor bug and feature release over its predecessor, StatusNet 0.9.1. Because this fixes a large number of minor and medium bugs, and incompatibilities in the OStatus code with 0.9.0, it is highly recommended that all sites upgrade to the new version as soon as possible.

Download
The software is available at http://status.net/statusnet-0.9.2.tar.gz

Upgrade
Users of version 0.9.0 or later should be able to upgrade in-place. The core database schema hasn't changed. However, it is a good idea to run scripts/checkschema.php after the in-place upgrade.
