After months of development, Drupal released its version 5.0 with over 492 contributors and 1173 patches ! A great community and certainly a great software. The Drupal 5.0 announced many improvements in the different level of enduser, website owners, and developers. I have already noted in my previous review of Drupal that it's lot of usability problems especially for newbies, and usability improvements was on top of changes on Drupal 5.0, but I think it was optimized more for current Drupal users :

• Administration pages: completely retooled the administration page. It now has a default task view with an option to hide descriptions (think advanced view) and a 'by module' view with links to configuration options.


• Settings pages: settings are now split up into smaller pages, making it easier to find the options you need.


• Tables: the content, user and comment lists now include a smart 'check all' checkbox and allow range selecting by holding 'shift'.


• Capitalization and typography: attention has been paid to properly and consistently format labels and text across Drupal.
