Version History / What's New

14 November 2001 -- version 7a.5.3.2

Another stealth update in order to decrease the amount of identical feedback coming in. The first fix adds to the TLC annotations an explicit link to the 'Xxxx' annotation in RM. The second fix adds both R2D2 and Daleks as possibilities for the GO robot annotation.

26 August 2001 -- version 7a.5.3.1

This is a sneak micro update with one change only: Removed the CJ 'hedge money' annotation, which was (a) wrong, and therefore (b) causing tons of near-identical feedback from observant correspondents.

10 July 2001 -- version 7a.5.3

82 annotations for previously unannotated Carpe Jugulum added.
45 annotations for already-annotated books added or significantly corrected/expanded.
Tweaked movie, Shakespeare, and Bible detection filters: more titles are now recognised and URLified.
Minor tweaks to the Style Sheet: a less glaring 'unvisited link' colour, a more subdued 'visited link' colour.
Various minor cosmetic fixes in the APF base text itself.
Added new entries for future books/stories, as mentioned by Terry on afp.
Added two new editorial sections.

29 March 2001 -- version 7a.5.2

94 annotations for previously unannotated The Last Continent added.
6 annotations for already-annotated books added or significantly corrected/expanded.
Tweaked movie detection filters: more movie titles are now linked directly to the Internet Movie Database.
Complete separation of content and presentation implemented using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
Pages now validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict.
First cautious experiments with Style Sheet attributes (coloured text, paragraph spacing, font suggestions) to make the APF pages easier to read.
Known 'bug': the move to XHTML/CSS means that in many current and older browsers the APF may now look "less good" then before. The actual content should not be affected: any problems should be purely of a -- mild -- cosmetic nature.

28 February 2001 -- version 7a.5.1

96 annotations for previously unannotated Jingo added.
11 annotations for already-annotated books added or significantly corrected/expanded.
The broken Shakespeare links have been fixed.
A large number of minor corrections and updates to both the APF itself and to the HTML and links.
Pages now validate as HTML 4.0 Transitional.

24 December 2000 -- version 7a.5

205 new annotations for the previously unannotated Feet of Clay and Hogfather added.
Preface and index page rewritten, headers changed to incorporate Miq.
This page added.
Known bug: most Shakespeare links are broken, because MIT changed the directory structure of their site in an extremely horrible way.

The APF is maintained by Leo Breebaart and Mike Kew,
who always welcome corrections, questions or new annotations.
