+* This is another test release, still not intended to be production-ready. Look for version 1.0. Almost there!!
+* Bug fix: if :ec2onrails[:enable_ssl] = true the setup task fails due to /etc/init.d/apache2 not executable
+* Bug fix: retry the the first mysqld startup, because on first startup sometimes the /etc/init.d/mysql startup script thinks it failed because mysqld took too long to physically write the logs full.

 * Incremental database backups instead of doing a full mysqldump each time (full dump is done once nightly). (Thanks to Markus Bengts for the bug fix)
 * Added monit monitoring daemon: monitors mysqld, apache, memcached, mongrels, system load and free drive space
