CHANGES:
v0.13 - Adds a sf_releases script and splits some of the Perl stuff out
into a module. This is a bit of a diversion from the goal of the
project, but, it turns out, is actually what I was going for when I
started it. Go figure. Is there anybody else actually using this that
cares?
v0.12 - Better. Has some docs.
v0.1 - Works. Watches a RSS feed and growls updates either to localhost
or to a remote host. TODO: Documentation.
