Changes for version 0.07 - 1999-07-06

  • obsoleted WebFetch::EGAuthors because they change their site too often to keep up with
  • added WebFetch::CNETnews, contributed by Jamie Heilman
  • updated WeBFetch::CNNsearch to allow keyword-only searches. This became necessary when a Linux story got on all the "in other news" pages at CNN and suddenly all pages on CNN matched a search for Linux. This release also fixed a bug with non-Linux searches, reported by Jamie Heilman.
  • New --style command line option was added to control the internal HTML style parameter. Some new style strings were added (notable, bullet)
