Finshed rewriting most of the file handling code in GTKeyboard - I really, really hate writing string manipulation stuff in C. It's like pulling teeth from a rabid cheetah. I don't think it would be so bad if I hadn't learned perl, but since I have, and I know what it COULD be like, it's hard to get used to slogging through this stuff in C. And I'd love to use an external library to do the dirty work for me, but I don't want to tie the program down to any more external dependancies. Oh well.

It's coming along well though. I have spoken to several on again, off again contributors, and we've decided to release 0.99 once we're done stabilizing a few features. After that, it's bug fixing, code cleanups, and a 1.0 release.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
