[Surfraw-devel] surfraw 2.2.8 released

[Ian Beckwith]

Hi,

I've just released surfraw 2.2.8

http://surfraw.alioth.debian.org/dist/surfraw-2.2.8.tar.gz

Last minute changes:

* netbsd: fix normal & mail search.
  google custom searches were complaining I was a bot, so I
  switched to normal google searches with
  site:{mail-index,}.netbsd.org.
* cia: fix search URL

Known problems:

alioth, openbsd -pr and genportage are currently broken
as the sites themselves are broken, hopefully temporarily.

NEWS for this release:

  * Changed elvi:

    + ctan: Option -doc replaced by -id. Options no longer mutually
      exclusive.
    + codesearch, musicbrainz, rpmsearch: rewritten to match new
      site. Options have changed to match site, see help message.
    + debbugs: add -s as an alias for -search=src.
    + google: new options:
      * -v, -search=video: search video
      * -m, -search=maps: search maps
      * -n, -search=news: search news
      * -i: new shortcut for -search=images
      * -safe=default|off|moderate|strict: safe search
    + openbsd: support -misc and -tech.
    + opensearch: new option -r, uses remote redirector
      which means it can run without heavy dependencies.
    + pgpkeys: add more options, support more keyservers,
      default to sks-keyservers.net.
    + translate: added Google Translate support.
    + wayback: advanced search is broken, rip out all
      options and use basic search.
    + wikipedia: new option -d, uses remote redirector
      to search both wikipedia and deletionpedia.
      use -fallback=wikipedia|deletionpedia to customise
      behaviour.
  * Fixed elvi: archpkg, arxiv, cia, codesearch, ctan, javasun,
    lastfm, musicbrainz, netbsd, rpmsearch, w3link, yahoo.
  * Removed elvi:
    + altavista: is now just a front-end to yahoo. RIP.
    + cddb: gracenote made the "hard decision" to remove the
      website search. sigh.
    + fast: another yahoo front-end.
    + filesearching: refuses to work without 'Referer:' header.
    + port: site gone
  * Support -local-help, --local-help or -lh to get elvi-specific
    help without displaying the global options. This works for
    all elvi and the main surfraw script.
  * Support -h as a synonym for -help.
  * Improved listing of elvi.
  * Default to surfraw_graphical_remote=no,
    as chromium doesn't support "-remote openURL".
  * Bookmark names are now an exact match not a substring match.
  * Support BSD/POSIX make.
  * README: added INTEGRATION section on uzbl and pentadactyl.

Ian.
