Although they didn't manage to quite time to sync up with the Ubuntu Dapper Drake release ;-), it's very exciting to report the release of Plone 2.1.3, which bundles up four months of bug fixes, usability enhancements and performance tweaks.

The full list of fixes is pretty long (249 items!), but among the highlights noted by release manager Stefan Holek are:

• You can now insert resized images into pages.  This is a hugely useful feature, and I believe it may be unique to Plone, thanks to the extremely tight integration between Plone and its graphical editor Kupu.
  
• Portlets now have support for rounded corner styling, which makes Plone even easier to customize.
• Viewing an uploaded file now downloads it directly
  
• Various improvements to the navigation portlet

It's great to see Plone kick another quality release out the door.  Plone 2.5 is just around the corner!
