Revision History
Revision v2.1120 December 2000Revised by: MPB
Converted the README, FAQ, and DATABASE information into - SGML docbook format.
Revision 2.11.106 March 2001Revised by: MPB
Took way too long to revise this for 2.12 release. Updated - FAQ to use qandaset tags instead of literallayout, cleaned - up administration section, added User Guide section, - miscellaneous FAQ updates and third-party integration - information. From this point on all new tags are lowercase - in preparation for the 2.13 release of the Guide in XML - format instead of SGML.
Revision 2.12.024 April 2001Revised by: MPB
Things fixed this release: Elaborated on queryhelp - interface, added FAQ regarding moving bugs from one keyword - to another, clarified possible problems with the Landfill - tutorial, fixed a boatload of typos and unclear sentence - structures. Incorporated the README into the UNIX - installation section, and changed the README to indicate the - deprecated status. Things I know need work: Used - "simplelist" a lot, where I should have used "procedure" to - tag things. Need to lowercase all tags to be XML compliant.
Revision 2.14.007 August 2001Revised by: MPB
Attempted to integrate relevant portions of the UNIX and - Windows installation instructions, moved some data from FAQ - to Install, removed references to README from text, added - Mac OS X install instructions, fixed a bunch - of tpyos (Mark Harig), linked text that referenced other - parts of the Guide, and nuked the old MySQL permissions - section.
