Following the last Beta 1 release, Drupal has once again release the next beta version, Drupal 5.0 Beta 2. It comes with several new features, including a web-based install system, improved administration tools, and a totally shiny new theme.

Since Beta 1, there have been a lot of bug fixes after having reviewed and committed over 160 patches, which is roughly five every single day. Hopefully this Beta 2 version can be overturned into a release candidate soon.

Underneath this latest version 5 of Drupal includes lots of improvements, such as the inclusion of jQuery Javascript Library, node access system improvement (ACL), Form API improvement, and even more.
