jake-0.2.2

[Daniel Chudnov]

(pardon x-posts)


jake-0.2.2 is now available for searching and download at:

  http://jake.med.yale.edu


New or improved features include:

	* several fulltext dbs added (Adam)

        * gj.xsl and details.xsl updated to include links to
        fulltext issue lists when possible and show coverage
        dates more cleanly (Dan)

        * all table and fields renamed to conform with
        Some_Table_Name and some_field_name naming scheme (Adam)

	* project renamed to jake (was gnujake): the GNU folks like
	the project but believe it is outside of GNU scope.
        note that this 43% reduction in acronym letters results in a 
	67% decrease in syllabic pronouncement requirements.

These changes should result in better looking, more complete searches and
easier access to some fulltext resources.  Even though we are still in the
early stages of this project and have much work yet to do, hopefully you
will agree that jake is already a quite useful reference resource.

We are working to add as many title lists and rulesets for url
construction as possible.  For resource providers whose products are not
yet included in jake, please consider the Call For Participation:
