Version 0.3.0, 16 July 2010:
Major changes

import paths and class names are changed. Old class names and paths are deprecated but still work;

implemented dashboard module groups : you can now group modules in tabs, accordion or in a stacked layout.
Bugfixes and minor changes

build urlpatterns conditionally regarding the content of INSTALLED_APPS;
better display of selected menu items;
avoid a useless ajax GET request for retrieving dashboard preferences;
upgraded jquery and jquery ui and renamed the files to more generic names;

fixed issue #26 (menu bar showing for non-staff users) and also updated templates to match the django 1.2 templates;
fixed issue #29 : Django 1.2 admin base template change;
