RSS feeds for web pages
Each web page can define its own RSS feed, making it easier to
subscribe to information. Please see the Phoenix

Smarter download.php
Download
begins immediately if no mirrors are found. If a specific file is not
found, download.php searches the archive site, avoiding frustrating Not
Found errors.

New project meta-data
The ProjectInfo meta-data has moved out of XML files and into the
Portal. It's now much easier to maintain project meta-data.
