New in Skribilo 0.9.1

* Improved `configure' diagnostics
* Various documentation fixes and improvements


New in Skribilo 0.9.0 (user-visible changes compared to Skribe 1.2d)

* New engine: `lout' (see http://lout.sf.net/).

* New packages

  - `eq' for equation formatting.
  - `pie' for pie charts.
  - `diff' for document diff (experimental).
  - `web-book2' for on-line publishing.

* New markups in the `base' package

  `~', `breakable-space', `numref', `!lout', `lout-illustration'.

* Extended markups in the `base' package

   - `footnote' now takes a `:label' option.
   - `document' now takes a `:keywords' option.	
   - `bibliography' now takes a `:labels' option.

* New `outline' front-end (see the `--reader' option of `skribilo')

* New module system (actually that of GNU Guile), no `skribe-load'

  Just like modules help structure programs, they are useful for
  documents: Skribilo documents are not second-class programs.  Also,
  by default, Skribilo documents have fewer bindings in their name
  space than Skribe documents.

  For compatibility with Skribe, see the `--compat=skribe'
  command-line option.

* Little or no global state

  Per-document data structures (e.g., per-document node identifier
  hash table) or SRFI-39 parameters (e.g., `*document-path*') are used
  where appropriate, which introduces API changes.

  Use `--compat=skribe' for compatibility with Skribe.

* Stricter document structure

  In Skribe, if the engine allowed it, it was possible to use
  `section' instead of `chapter' as the top-level section type.  The
  `latex' engine, consequently, has a new custom named
  `class-has-chapters?'.

* Unique node identifiers

  No two nodes within a document can have the same identifier (`:ident'
  parameter).  Duplicate identifiers are reported as an error.

* Bug fixes

  Most notably in the `resolve' subsystem.

* New build system

* Last but not least: New name!  :-)
