>From a functionality point of view not much, it is called "2.0" to indicate a backward incompatible change in the API it uses (to support piggy bank 3.0): 1) made the "generate code after capture" button after a little more visible [people were complaining they didn't know what to do after they have captured data] 2) updated the help files to match the new API 3) updated the script templates to match the new API Everything else works pretty much the same. I would have loved to see David's new autoscraping functionality (as prototyped in Sifter) but we didn't have time for that. Hopefully after David has given his talk. -- Stefano Mazzocchi Digital Libraries Research Group Research Scientist Massachusetts Institute of Technology E25-131, 77 Massachusetts Ave skype: stefanomazzocchi Cambridge, MA 02139-4307, USA email: stefanom at mit . edu ------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
