I've just released pmwiki-0.6.beta2 for those who are interested in
experimenting with the latest version of the code.  The major changes
include:

* By default, search pages are now wiki pages containing [[$Searchresults]].
  The old ?action=search functionality continues to be supported.
* Includes the '\\' sequence for line breaks proposed by Christian Ridderstr?m.
* Eliminates the |, ^, and ` characters from URI patterns
* Gets rid of the <p /> output, replacing it with <p></p> to follow XHTML
  recommendations.  This can be further controlled by the $HTMLVSpace
  variable.
* Links now have CSS class attributes ('wikilink', 'urllink', 'createlink')
* The default layout is slightly modified from 0.6.beta1 but is still expected
  to change substantially based on user feedback before the official 0.6 
  release.

You can experiment with the new beta release as it's being developed
at http://www.pmichaud.com/work/beta/pmwiki.php .  Keep in mind that
the features introduced in the beta releases are not yet 'set in stone'
and may still change.

My current plans call for several beta releases over the next few days.  
Here's a list of what I expect or hope to be done in the next set of 
releases leading up to 0.6.0:
    author tracking (beta3)
    '=>' indented text markup (beta3 or beta4)
    concurrent edit handling (beta4)
    alt= tags for images (beta5)
    web spider/robots control (beta6)
    built-in internationalization, 
      possibly including i18n WikiWords and FreeLinks
    printable page
    conditional markup  ([[if ]]...[[endif]])
    finalize PmWiki's default layouts/skin handling
    disable/limit conversions of specific WikiWords
    vastly improved installation and setup script w/better diagnostics

Comments, questions, and suggestions welcomed.
