===================================================================


v. 0.6.1 (2009-11-19)
----------------------------------------------------
This release adds an alternate non-Flash upload form for compatability.



v. 0.6.0 (2009-11-18)
----------------------------------------------------
This release changes support for group-directory naming to allow multiple directory
definitions per group. This change will allow directories to be created based on
multiple criteria, not just a single property.



v. 0.5.0 (2009-10-09)
----------------------------------------------------
This release adds support for CAS authentication.

If going to CAS authentication from LDAP, enable both authentication methods, then
run the updater under Admin Tools --> MiddMedia Updates to map LDAP ids to CAS ids.

From there both authentication methods can be left enabled or the LDAP method can
be disabled.

Authentication configuration has changed to support the reworked admin-act-as-user
authentication method.
