.26 released on 3/5 - Visual enhancements

We're experimenting with iterating faster to bring you changes as we have them.  This release comes just 6 days after the release of .25.  We have 3 themes to this release:
  1. Visual improvements - We tightened up the dashboard, New font and updated logo, consistent colors, custom error messages (if you hit a page error)
  2. It's easier for you to know when the admin got back to one of your comments, if you have emails turned on. 
  3. Improved statistics - We brought back a visualization of the time spent on DailyMirror, now as a sparkline.  Additionally, all ratings on the site now show as stars instead of text. Over time you will see more use of sparklines and tighter data visualizations.
Behind the scenes we upgraded to faster, more reliable server software, though you likely won't see much of that. Stay tuned for more fun stuff that's in the works.  We should have another release coming very shortly.  

Oh, and you might not have seen the new email format because of a bug that we had, it was only sending to a small fraction of our users.  Click this link to turn emails back on.  It's a simple 1-click from the new mail to turn them back off if you don't find them valuable, so give it a shot!

Cheers from the folks at daytender.
