We are pleased to announce the release of MKDoc-1.6.30.  MKDoc is an 
award-winning mod_perl web-based content management system with an 
emphasis on usability, accessibility and internationalisation.

This is a feature release that adds new functionality, read the 
INSTALL.TXT file before upgrading from an earlier version.

MKDoc 1.6.30 is the latest in the 'stable' branch of MKDoc, 
development of new features for the upcoming 1.8 release takes place 
in the 'unstable' core.

Changes since the last release include:

- A new TimeRange component.  This allows any document to become an 
  "event" simply by adding one or more "timeranges".  Events can 
  appear in customised "upcoming events" headline listings and 
  are included in newsletter emails.

- The menu template now automatically lists the children of the 
  root document at the top of each page, there is no longer any need 
  to maintain a custom template for this.

- Integration with the E-Commerce shopping-cart has been imporoved.

- A workaround has been added for an intermittent web-browser bug 
  that resulted in browsers submitting forms in the wrong 
  character-set.

- Files uploaded with the following names are not visible as links 
  in the parent document: style.css, script.js and favicon.ico.

- A bug has been fixed that resulted in hidden documents being 
  visible in some default_child_listing_* templates.

- The indexer and RSS cronjobs no longer try to index sites that 
  are disabled or otherwise unavailable.
