Yarrow 1.2.0 released
---------------------

Yarrow is a web CGI front end to the RGTP message board protocol,
as used on the Cambridge GROGGS system, for Linux and compatible
systems. It includes an RGTP back end that can be used by other
Python-based clients.

New in this version:
 * Distutils-based installation script.
 * HTTP compression support and basic caching support.
 * If the user has sufficient permission on the RGTP server, they
   may change the message of the day and edit the user database.
 * All reliance on static HTTP content is removed, making
   installation simpler. All CSS is included within the HTML.
 * Enhancements for those running text-only browsers.
 * Tidying and bug fixing.
