Announcing  a major update to Fox:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Fox

Changes:
* Fox can now post to multiple pages, using corresponding template
  pages (i.e. pairs of target => template).
  
  This makes it possible for instance to post an entry to forum or
  blog page and add a link to an index trail page.
  So blogs and forums can be build using pagelist with trail= for a
  faster page display.
  
  Or it could be used like NewGroupBox's autogroup feature, creating a
  new group of pages in one action, and in addition passing on field
  values, and creating pages not only in one group.

* redirect= can be set to any page name. So after processing a number
  of target pages the user will see a specific page.

* Enhancements in the field substitution code, to make it more
  precise.

* Major restructure of code functions for easier code maintenance.

This together with the latest improvements like capacity to use
external(other recipe script) FilterFunctions and field substitutions
will make Fox a much better tool for all kinds of form processing.

Comments, suggestions, feedback most welcome!
