News:

Locking
=======

WAIT now supports some basic locking.

Speed
=====

Searching large collections is now considerably faster:

        $table->search({attr  => 'text', 
                        cont  => $query, 
                        top   => 1, 
                        picky => 0});

Table indices may now be tuned to improve search performance.  The
index tuning can be switched on and off using $table->set(top=>1/0) to
allow for bulk inserts.

Documentation
=============

WAIT is still not documented really.  But Andreas König took the
trouble to comment the example scripts.  This will help you
implementing your own applications.  I added some tiny scripts to
index e.g. your .yow file or the fourtune databases.

SourceForge
===========

WAIT is registered on SourceForge now:

        http://wait.sourceforge.net/
        https://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=4814

I will keep the CVS repository up to date.  If you have some spare
tuits, feel free to contribute.
