[RELEASE] 0.7.0 beta2

[Eric Evans <ee...@rackspace.com>]

It's like Christmas in October, but without the long lines.

First, the obligatory disclaimer.

This is beta software.  It's like a teenage driver, it seems as though
it's up to the task, and it almost is, but don't be too surprised if you
find your trash cans and mailbox smashed.  In other words, upgrade
important infrastructure at your own risk, and expect to be thoroughly
mocked if it all goes horribly wrong.

Ass covered.  Check.

All joking aside, this is shaping up to be an awesome release, and any
help testing would, as always, be greatly appreciated.  We're getting
closer and closer to committing to a final release and want to shake out
as many bugs as possible.

If you're coming from 0.6, there are some things to be aware of, so be
sure to read the release notes[2].

If you find bugs, report them[3].  If you have questions, ask them.

Have fun!

That's a colloquial, and probably worth avoiding precisely because it
will confuse those not familiar with it.

This has been updated in trunk. Thanks.
