Argh, the obs team is too fast for us.
This is the internal announcement on the obs mailing list - we can make the 
official one on news.o.o any time.
That was just my very first try of an 2.1 anouncement. Also the release notes are 
considered to be in "Beta" atm ;) Means there might be missing or incorrect stuff.

You may also want to wait for the final release for news.o.o. I seriously want to
have my videos also ready by then.

Carlos, Isabel, how can we help you?

Subject: [opensuse-buildservice] OBS 2.1 Beta 1 released
Date: Wednesday 22 September 2010, 14:38:36
From: Adrian Schröter 
To: opensuse-buildservice@opensuse.org
OBS 2.1 Beta 1 is available
===========================
As usual packages can be found inside of the openSUSE:Tools:Unstable
project of OBS and its repositories. The correct version tag for the packages
and inside git is 2.0.103 for this release:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools:/Unstable/
Appliances can be accessed via this wiki page as usual:
http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/OBS-Appliance
Appliance users can just update the appliance image or the packages and
reboot for ugrading their instance. Others need to read the 
"README.UPDATERS" file with information about manual updating the server.
There is also a new media, called obs-server-install inside of
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools:/Unstable/images/i...
which can be used to install an entire OBS server from scratch to hard disc.
Special thanks go to LinuxFoundation, Intel and Nokia for their contributions
to this release.
We plan to release 2.1 Final in about 2 weeks. The following is an extract of
the release notes with informations about the new features:
Features:

  - Linked projects and packages are shown if existing.

    Also to edit each service parameters and to trigger a run.

    edited.
- New submit requests can be created.

reviews
    can be processed as well in web interface.

    packages the original request gets superseded.

build log.
    (This functionality has been provided by the LinuxFoundation)
* backend:
  - Source services to checkout from external SCM repositories have been 
added.
    This includes also necessary source services to compress tar balls, use 
spec/dsc
    files out of them or to update the version in spec/dsc files.
- Accepted submit request store the exact merged versions to allow later 
tracking
    of the requests. osc and the web interface can show now the diffs of 
accepted requests
    as result.

    (Functionality has been provided by Nokia).
