The new changes.txt has been written but will not be uploaded until we quit making changes. <g> It HAD been written for a possible May 1 release but things aren't ready yet. As you know, Michael, it is very difficult to make a living and, at the same time, make progress on a hobby like this. ;-) The "newbuild" directory currently contains only the "oldbuild" files as a starting point. The new material has not been moved in yet. Glenn has fixed the 3 digit color problem but users are more concerned about the https problem than improper color rendition. Glenn has fixed (patched) the https problem also and it works for 95+% of https sites. Glenn has also patched the runaway download problem which users ALSO found more annoying than the CSS color rendition. There are a surprising amount of other small changes which I'm not going to announce here. <G> Be patient. We have waited more than a year for you. ;-) Regarding the other stuff, flowerpot etc; that's definitely an Arachne 2x project and much more complex than we can handle right now. Just let us play in the 1.7+ version field for a while. - Clarence Verge. -- Using Arachne 1.66 on DSL.
