[mapguide-internals] MapGuide 2.1 Release going live

[Trevor Wekel]

Hi everyone (especially PSC members),

I have made a few updates to the Drupal and Trac websites to reflect the 2.1 release.  I believe there are still a ton of documentation updates to do for the release.  However, I would like to post the official release announcement to mapguide-announce and mapguide-users.  I've blatantly stolen and updated the text Tom wrote for the beta release.  Is the following message ok?  Do we need to inform the OSGeo SAC that there may be some increases in download traffic over the next few days?


Hello,
