This release includes a migration to a new Planet Server written by Euan Ong (@eohomegrownapps). The new server has a number of features, including project remixing, searching, sorting, and paging. It also supports tags and descriptions. In conjunction with the new server is a refactored client interface to the planet, also written by Euan. Finally, there is also a moderation portal for maintenance of the Planet database.
