Hi all --

I've just put up HTML::WebMake and Text::EtText 2.1.  Download 'em from
the usual locations ;)

Consider these no longer beta -- I've been using the new edit-in-browser
stuff quite a lot, and it seems to work well. Also a couple of big bugs
were fixed since 2.0.


Changes for WebMake:

	- some pretty serious bugs fixed in CGI code, which were stopping
	  it from saving changes under some circumstances.

	- UI for Edit CGI page changed a little; also added a "Download
	  Raw File" button

	- added support for ; as CGI param separator

	- the basic explanation of WebMake has been rewritten, with quite
	  a lot of new documentation; thanks to Eric Johanssen for some
	  suggestions with this.  Hopefully the learning curve will be
	  a little shallower now...

	- datasources are documented a little bit better (I hope)

	- fixed serious metadata bug reported by Joern Clausen

	- Fixed the CVS HOWTO doc; the instructions didn't work on SuSE
	  Linux, for one :(

	- RPM is no longer being built, due to a change of hosting OS.
	  I may get it going again for 2.2 though...


Changes for EtText:

	- er, none --  must get out of the habit of bumping the revision
	  just to match them up...

	- RPM is no longer being built, due to a change of hosting OS.
	  I may get it going again for 2.2 though...


I'll be offline from next week for about a month BTW, as I move to
Australia, with a stop off in Thailand on the way ;) ... so things may be
a bit quiet in the meantime.  ;)
