Bookmarks database and Internet robot version 3.1.1

[Oleg Broytmann]

Hello!

                    BOOKMARKS database and internet robot

WHAT IS IT
   Here is a set of classes, libraries, programs and plugins I use to
manipulate my bookmarks.html. I like Netscape Navigator, but I need more
features, so I write and maintain these programs for my needs. I need to
extend Navigator's "What's new" feature (Navigator 4 named it "Update
bookmarks").


WHAT'S NEW in version 3.0
   Complete rewrite from scratch. Created mechanism for pluggable storage
managers, writers and robots.


WHAT'S NEW in version 3.1.1
   Reverted myftpwrapper.endtransfer (removed). After dicussing the problem
Guido, the brilliant author of Python, suggested a patch for urllib. I provide
the patch in the doc directory.
   Fixed a minor bug in storing size - on 64bit filesystems size stored as
longint string with trailing 'L'; that caused problems with later calls to
int(); I've just removed trailing 'L' (page size probably wouldn't be bigger
than maxint, anyway :).
