Yesterday Open Atrium 1.0 Beta 4 was released. I figured it was coming because I noticed it had been rolled out on community.openatrium.com already. I decided to through it into Aegir and give'r a quick spin.

This is NOT going to be an exhaustive comparison, just a quick first look.  Also, Some stuff has already been talked about (like the theme) so I wont be talking about it.

Main Page

When you first login your taken to that main dashboard.  Here are some quick differences I noticed:

• There is a nice pop-out menu in the upper left corner.
• The user link is now on the left instead of the right and is no longer 'lightbox' styled when you click on it.
• The "My Groups" is now located inside the user pop-out.
• OA now used the new easily customizable dashboard.
• There is a fancy how to video in the main content section when you start it up.

Group Pages

• Members menu up at the top
• Pop-out shoutbox w/ full shoutbox link
• Another Fancy Video

Group Features Page

• New archive tab allowing you to archive the group (just moved from where ever it was before).
• No public/private switches (they didn't work "as expected" anyways.
• Overrides tab showing the spaces variable overrides.

Thats a basic rundown of what I noticed playing with it for like 10 minutes.  Let me know if I missed anything big. 

There are a LOT of backend changes that I need to look into deeper.  I will probably only mention them there if they are crazy.
