i agree, feel free to correct...

why? examples?

Michael actually explained it well 2 days ago on the maillist, at the same
time of commiting the changes. I even pointed the mail to you.

hey, you should search the original mail then
or let's use the archive...
or look up at /dev/null

heh? it was NOT posted by Egger. it was by Diego. They aren't the same ppl.
or did you filtered From:.* to /dev/null ?

i didn't even mentioned news here... anyway what about the new features news?
it also took "years" to be out

you still didn't ask a single question. and the explanation is in the ML

some user sent a docs update patch few days ago to -users.
i've never seen it in cvs back.

Someone told you how to set font for docbook, STFML
