I've just released PmWiki 2.1.beta27, which has some feature improvements
and a couple of bugfixes.  The latest release is available from:

    http://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.1.beta27.tgz
    http://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.1.beta27.zip
    svn://pmwiki.org/pmwiki/tags/latest

Highlights of the release:

* The .linkindex has been eliminated, and is now replaced by a
  more powerful ".pageindex" file.  The page index contains not
  only a cross-reference table of links, but terms that can be
  used to speed up searches.  This has been used to good effect
  on pmwiki.org.

  Site administrators may notice that searches and backlink requests
  take noticeably longer than normal after installing this upgrade,
  until the pageindex is completely built.  However, once built there
  should be a marked improvement in the speed of basic searches
  and backlink requests.

* The (:pagelist:) directive now supports "order=group", which allows
  pages to be sorted by group and some other criteria.  For example,
  "order=group,title" sorts pages by title within groups, while
  "order=group,-time" will sort pages by modification time within groups.

* A couple of small improvements have been made to automatically
  setting $AuthId (and $Author) once a visitor has logged in.

* A problem with (:include lines=...:) chopping off the last
  line of input has been fixed.

* We've once again changed the handling of page links containing
  query strings to be closer to what was done in beta25.  Unlike
  the beta26 release, links to non-existent pages will be treated
  as normal page links if they contain an "?action=" argument in their
  query component.  (In beta26, the existence of any query component
  would cause the link to be a normal page link.)

Comments, suggestions welcomed as always.
