OK, scratch the first sentence in the paragraph above. I just looked over the list, and I'm fairly certain that none of these are in 3.2 cvs yet. Lachlan's patch to defaults.cc will add startyear et al. to defaults.cc, but it doesn't include the full description that 3.1.6's attrs.html file has for these attributes.

I'd like to add to the list above to make it a complete list of 3.1.x things still needed for 3.2. If that's not too unappealing a task to start with, that would be a good starting point. Apart from that, probably all the htsearch changes and htsearch-related attributes in the list above would be the easier ones to go into 3.2, and probably the most pressing because during 3.1.6 development I deliberately held back parallel changes to 3.2's htsearch, because of other changes that were to take place there, but never fully materialized. The htfuzzy, endings and contrib changes should all be pretty straightforward too. How's that for starters? If you want help or clarification on any of these, please let me know. And regardless of what you do end up working on, thank you for offering! I'll look after these two... > - better handling of htdig -m option > - translate_latin1 attribute, with hooks into SGMLCodec class because I have a pretty clear idea in mind of what I want to do with those. -- Gilles R.
