Changes (by aaroncampbell):

  * milestone:  Future Release => 3.1


Comment:

 It doesn't take a lot of code or any modification of core files to allow
 E-Mail login, just 8 lines of code [comment:35 posted above].  You
 '''will''' have to make sure that you collect the E-Mail address on
 registration though.

 This is definitely something I'd like to see though, so I'm going to bump
 it up to 3.1 so I can take a look at it after the 3.0 release.
