DocDB 7.5.0 Released

New in this release:

7.5.0
A new, simpler way to search. Just type in one or more words and DocDB will
search for them in topics, authors, events, doctypes, and all the text fields.
Results are ranked by how many matches are found.

Also on the search form you can type in author names rather than having to
select them.

Can now get notification of documents associated with events (just like
topics, authors, keywords)

Bold and add ...more information... link to event table even if all events are
shown. Resulting page shows the end date (if different) and event location.

Titles of events, sessions, and breaks are now shown on the web pages instead
of generic "Event," etc. Note that if too much content breaks the layout of
your header code, you may want to truncate things in that code.

Link to web page to display break info. Not so useful now, may be later.

NotifyDigest was very old code and only sent mail on topics (or all documents)
It was re-written to work use the same criteria as instant notification.

The DocDB homepage was changed to SourceForge.net

Better documentation of some tricky things in the API (AddDocument subroutine)
was added

A new script, CheckModules was created to check that your Perl installation has
all the modules required for DocDB
