This means that if your global config was in /etc/surfraw.conf
it is now in /etc/xdg/surfraw/conf, and local config is
now in $HOME/.config/surfraw/conf. The same applies to bookmarks.
See README for details on configuring config locations, and
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html
for the gory details. The old locations are still supported for
backwards-compatibility.
* Support per-user elvi in $HOME/.config/surfraw/elvi/
Patch by James Rowe, idea by Sumant Oemrawsingh.
* Added -o | -o=FILE option, to fetch URL and dump to
stdout or FILE.
* Modified elvi:
+ freebsd: new options -psearch=TYPE -psection=SEC
to conduct a search of type TYPE in section SEC of ports.
+ netbsd: new option -ps to search ports
+ openbsd: new option -ps to search ports
+ debsec: fixed (Thanks to Moritz Muehlenhoff, for this
and all his other work).
+ cia: fixed.

with uzbl (uzbl.org), thanks to Sumant Oemrawsingh.
Sat Sep 13 20:40:01 BST 2008 - surfraw 2.2.3
* Surfraw now defaults to graphical mode. See surfraw(1)
for how to change the default back.

This can be overridden by passing --with-text-browser=BROWSER
and --with-graphical-browser=BROWSER to ./configure.
* New elvis: piratebay, genportage. Thanks to J.R. Mauro.
* Detect which awk to use.
* Fixed slinuxdoc and webster.
* Removed bashisms.
* Fixed uninstall.
* Add --disable-sr option to ./configure to disable installing the
'sr' symbolic link, to avoid clashes with the SR programming language.
Thu Sep 6 21:59:35 BST 2007 - surfraw 2.1.7
* Resumed making upstream releases.

Elvi now live in ${PREFIX}/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

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.

freedb, happypenguin, jake, rhyme, scaleplus,

* Added note to HACKING explaining how to disable ifs quoting

Please use the main HEAD branch from now on.
