File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 2.0b1

Notes:
Pagecast 2.0b1 is moving closer to a 2.0 stable
release. I hope lots of people test out this beta version and uncover
any latent bugs before the 'stable' release that can be included in
distributions.   

Changes from the last release include support for all servers included
in the 1.1.1 release in the new .def format, full SMTP mail support throughout,  various bug fixes, cleaner -v verbosity support, and updated documentation.

There will be at least one more beta before the 2.0 release, and this will include a Newt-based user friendly front end.


Changes: 2000-01-17 Preston Landers <pbl@pbl.cx> * Back after a long break. * Added .def files for all the search engines that were present in released 1.1.1 (except Canada.com, see below) and corrected various bits of data in the definitions. * Implemented verbosity in the printing function. Incrememt verbosity with -v command line option (can use more than one) * Took out the silly security check * Improved results handling, should catch and mark virtually all errors * Have to drop Canada.com for the beta. They have a second "are you sure" page which confuses pagecast. I may add support for this engine in the future. It shouldn't be too hard and I encourage any of you to do it. * Fixed various little bugs and things * Added SMTP support. I think BCC/CC handling may be broken
