Major changes in release 0.13: * Each comics strip's Resource Locator Info (RLI) structure is now saved persistently in the spool directory when the comic strip is downloaded. These "rli status files" are reloaded during the next invocation of netcomics (unless they're purged) and used to determine what comics needs to be retried to be downloaded. When the webpage is recreated, the status files are used to find out extra information about the already downloaded comics (author, caption, website URLs, etc). New commandline options: -R -a -q. * Referers are now handled. A module may specify its own referer if the default (derived from the URL) is not correct. * The external command specified may now include several macros which get replaced. See the manpage for details. * New comics in this release: btaf Bob the Angry Flower cotc Clan of the Cats crfh College Roomies from Hell drfun Dr. Fun evjake Everything Jake elf Elf Life gu Gaming U bayside Life at Bayside nukees Nukees sempai Sempai sinf Sinfest wigu Whenigrowup Major changes in release 0.12: * Added the comics: 9 Chickweed Lane, Absurd Notion, Against The Grain, Badlands, Bobos Progress, Boonies, Broom-Hilda, Buckets, Cats With Hands, Chase Villens, Dilbert Classics, Down To Earth, Dr Katz, Eek and Meek, Fair Game, Gibberish, Gil Thorp, Ick, Janes World, The Japanese Beetle, K Rat, Lola, Loose Parts, Mary Worth, Meatloaf Night, Mickey Mouse, The New Breed, Outtake, PC and Pixel, PS Mueller, Penny Arcade, Penny Arcade Bench, Phantom, Player Versus Player, Pretzel Logic, Quigmans, Random Shots, Rex Morgan, Ripleys Believe It Or Not, Rubes, Small World, Spex and Wally, Staggering Heights, Suburban Jungle, Sylvia, Tarzan, Thats Life, Top Of This World, Toy Trunk Railroad, WildLife, You Damn Kid, Kudzu, Small Grey, and Fat Cats. * Fixed Y2K bugs.

Major changes in release 0.10: * Changed from using localtime() throughout the code that downloads comics to use gmtime(). * New RLI fields: title, type, author, main, and archives. The field called "name" has been depricated. Please read Comic_Module-HOWTO.html. * The created webpages now get extra links included with them: to the comic at the website, the comics main page at the website, and the website's archives. The body element html template files were updated to handle very long headings for each comic. * The modules have been seperated into their own RPM so that updates can be made to them without having to update the the main RPM. The name of the RPM is netcomics-data. * Added the comics: Bliss, The Boondocks, Citizen Dog, The Fusco Brothers, Overboard, Tank McNamara, Real Life Adventures, Tradin' Paint, Animal Crackers, Bottom Liners, Strange Brew, For Heaven's Sake, Heathcliff, & Color Blind. Major changes in release 0.9: * The template HTML files now require 8 body_el#.html files where # is the number of image files that are handled. If you have created your own HTML template files, be sure to take a look at the ones included with this distribution and the document: Modify_Webpage_Creation-HOWTO.html * A new command-line option, -u, has been added. Using this will cause the actual comics to *not* be downloaded. If you use -W or -w, it will make the embedded images link to the comic on its website. If a webpage isn't created, the URLs will be printed on standard out. Note that many comics still require one or more HTTP requests to be performed in order to determine the URL of the comic strip on its website. * The command-line option, -s, now does the opposite of what it did before. By default, if a comic doesn't download but the URL was determined, the URL will be used for that comic as if -u were supplied just for it. Specifying -s will make it so that those comics will not be included in the webpage, as well as files that were downloaded that don't actually seem to be images.
