    Thanks to Simon Ernst for the idea.

    Becher for the patch).

Thu Sep  6 21:59:35 BST 2007 - surfraw 2.2.0

  * Resumed making upstream releases.
    Surfraw is now maintained by the Debian Surfraw-Devel Team. Please
    report bugs to <surfraw-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>, and feel
    free to join us on the list.

    There have been many changes since the last official release.

    	      deblists deblogs debpts debsec debwiki discogs dmoz ebay

    	      w3rdf wayback wikipedia yubnub

    Removed elvi: appwatch britannica ftpfind ftpsearch jake
    	    	  raging swhois

    Elvi now live in /usr/lib/surfraw (or /usr/local/lib/surfraw)
    Use surfraw-update-path to add this directory to your path or
    prefix elvi with sr or surfraw, eg "sr google foo bar".

    Bookmarks can be defined in /etc/surfraw.bookmarks or
    ~/.surfraw.bookmarks. See /etc/surfraw.bookmarks for the format.
    Bookmarks can be used with "sr [options] bookmarkname".

    There is now a test suite. "make test" to run it or
    see test/README.

    For a full list of changes since the last release, see
    debian/changelog. From this release onwards, changes will be
    logged in ./ChangeLog as normal.

Tue Feb 10 04:01:40 GMT 2004 - surfraw 2.0.1

Please note that the elvi have moved again, to /usr/lib/surfraw

If you used surfraw-update-path from version 2.0 to add the elvi
directory to your path, you will need to run it again, first with
-remove to remove the old path, then again with -add. To change your
path you will need to either log out and in again or source the
relevant config files.
