phpSecureSite v0.0.2 released

There has been a long delay since the first version of phpSecureSite was
released on January 12 2002. The reason for this is that after two months
of hard work the complete source tree for what was to be version 0.1 was
accidentally deleted, and the backups were very old. After this I got
very demotivated, and didn't take up development again until almost half
a year after the initial release.

Instead of adding a whole lot of features to the system, as I did while
working on the would-be version 0.1, I have decided to release more often,
and add only a few features for each release. This version is therefore
not very much different from v0.0.1, but it has a much better base for
further development.

Some of the changes from version 0.0.1 are ;

* Completely rewritten system

* Database abstraction layer

* Database backend modules allowing for different backend modules (currently
supported are MySQL and PostgreSQL)

* Authentication handler modules for different authentication backend
(currently supported are MySQL and PostgreSQL)

* Source documentation in DocBook 4.1 SGML format, rendered to HTML and PDF.

* Completely rewritten demo site (currently pretty minimal)

Please note that phpSecureSite is still not meant for production use - if you
use it for anything other than testing you are on your own. There is still
alot of functionality that is needed before it is usable in the real world,
and there hasn't been done any extensive testing.

If you use phpSecureSite then please go to the project homepage at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpsecuresite and sign up for the
phpsecuresite-users mailing list to provide feedback and/or bug-reports.
This way you can help make phpSecureSite a full-fledged security system for
web-applications.
