Indrajit -- Thanks for spinning the build.

Lift community -- It's testing time.  I'd like to release 2.1 on September 21st... so there's just under 3 weeks to test and fix bugs.  Please test and file bugs.

Oh if anyone wanted to play with the Squeryl Record integration it's in 2.1-RC1, albeit in a beta form.
