Since this other person ripped me off, I am no longer willing to pay someone that I don't know to do development work for me. It's my own fault for breaking our agreement and paying him before the work was done.
So if you have time and are willing to take on the challenge, then please contact me at malexandria@eclipsemagazine.com . The site is http://www.eclipsemagazine.com. One of the mods that I absolutely need is the Line Break problem fixed, and quite frankly I'm upset that the PostNuke developers did not deem this important enough to fix.
Please send an email to me at malexandria@eclipsemagazine.com
I tried posting this in the forums and couldn't figure out how to post anything. Cyboards SUCKS. and my password still isn't working so I couldn't sign it.
Thanks

First off, let me break the bad news to you with what is not in this release. The PostNuke article is system is being rewritten from the ground up, so we chose not make too many modifications until we can do it right. So there is no picture upload. We also did not include nl2br's in the admin, because of the effect it has on tables. These are issues that will be addressed soon, just not with this release.
With that our of the way, let's talk about some of the highlights.
First off there is an improved referers section. this now counts the frequency of hits from a referer, instead of a straight list. Thanks to Tim for adding this.
For you Search Engine fanatics out there, you now have a feature called Dynamic Keywords which parses your story text and adds it to your meta keywords on an article by article basis. I believe that Tim get's the credit here as well.
For folks on intranet that need an option to turn off comments on a story by story basis, this is added as well. You can choose the stories that you want your users to comment on, instead of having comments always on. -- Credits to Nemo for this one.
The AutoLink mod by Jens has been integrated into the core as well. This allows you to define links that automatically link in your articles.
Modules Admin -- A VERY IMPRESSIVE start to our effort to standardize plugins and modules for the system. This system allows the use of "Official Modules" as well as give you more information about your install modules. A very nice feature of this new system allows you to "Turn on or off" modules with a click of a mouse. -- Thanks to dctanner for this one.
We have also done some very subtle changes to the modules system by Patrick. Instead of having to drop your module admin folders in the admin, you can now keep them in your module directory. This allows you to have a very quick install of future modules. In addition language files are slowly being moved to the module system, so that you are not parsing a 100k file on each page load. This will be a huge performance boost once fully integrated.
Finally, my sincere thanks goes out to everyone that has reported, fixed, given suggestions, etc for the bugs in the system. I won't lie to you and say the .63 is completely bug free, but it seems to be very close.
Thanks to all that helped in this release, and my apologies for forgetting anyone that deserved some special recognition (which I am sure there are a couple of folks I left out).
...And another thing. to keep it friendly, NiceGuyEddie hasnt changed his dinerminor.com site to post-nuke. well, maybe not to keep it friendly, probably doesnt have time.
There is a couple of reasons I haven't converted my Diner site to PostNuke yet. First, I really haven't had the time! I am also too damn lazy to convert my current theme to the PostNuke way of doing things. But more so than anything else, I have needed a 4.4 upgrade script for phpBB so I wouldn't loose any content in my forums.
For the better part of today, I worked on one, and believe I have it functional. It has only been tested on one of my subsites (TNN) .
I believe I have finished it, but it does need some testing. There is a copy in our CVS in the modules_development tree, in the phpBB/docs folder.
Be forewarned, I have only tested this on one installation, so I am not sure it is perfect or not, but if someone has some spare time and a back-up of a 4.4 site they would like to test it on for me, please do:)
