Interesting New Modules
Hashtags - Allows Twitter-style #hashtag tagging in your node content. Makes the hashtags links, and integrates with the standard taxonomy system.
Fancy Insert - Provides a nicer interface for inserting Imagefield images into node content with the Insert module.
Taxonomy Additions - Extra taxonomy features and improved Views integration for vocabularies and terms.
Atrium Leads - Add a "Business Lead" content type to Open Atrium to make it function like a sales CRM.
Media Pool - Allow a randomized default for Imagefields when an image hasn't been uploaded.
Dummy Image - Creates dummy placeholder images in nodes for missing Imagecache images. This is helpful if you are working on a development copy of a site and don't have all the uploaded images from the production server.
