Oh, 'tis a tedious thing, making a release. Well, especially a release of txt2html, since I not only have to put it on its own page on my site as I do for all my publicly available tools, but I have to update my page on CPAN, and the official sourceforge page (which is the most painful process of the lot), and make an announcement on freshmeat, as well as announce it on the mailing list. However, I've just done it. Version 2.04, which didn't really do much change, except for this good thing -- that I've been back-and-forthing with the Debian package maintainer, and the changes I've done should make it easier for him to actually get the package updated. See, the problem was, with the huge change from version 1.35 to version 2, it wasn't so easy to just plonk the thing into a Debian package, so I'm very happy that it looks like happening at last.

And even better, I've rolled a deadly simple CGI script for testing txt2html (something which has been missing for a while) and it is on the sourceforge home page, so now people can check it out, like they used to be able to do.

I promised myself today I would accomplish at least one programming thing on this public holiday, and it looks like I have.
