  Txt2tags version 2.0 Released
  July 25, 2004 by Aurelio Marinho Jargas
  
  After more than a year of spare time coding and lots of
  mailing list messages, the version 2.0 of txt2tags was
  finished. It is the beginning of a new cycle, resulting
  in a code rewrite that improved the program quality and
  brought many new features.
  
  Some hot spots are: XHTML support, code approved by W3C
  validator (for HTML and XHTML), user configuration file
  ~/.txt2tagsrc, many new command line options, i18n, CSS
  facilities and extra tools to help site managing.
  
  Please go to the program site for a detailed description
  of all new features and links to download it:

  Hope you like it!

Author Testimonial

  
  Hi,
  
  The last released version of txt2tags is 1.7, dated Nov 30,
  2003. After 8 months of silence, the 2.0 version is ready.
  
  The work for this new 2.x series began in May 2003, when
  I've forked the code of txt2tags version 1.5. That was
  necessary to support the XHTML target, which required deep
  changes on the program core.
  
  It took me all this time (14 months) to finish it because
  I'm a spare-time programmer, and the "spare" was really
  rare in that period. Plus, versions 1.6 and 1.7 were coded
  and released in parallel with v2.0 coding.
  
  After intensive testing of the new code on my personal docs
  and homepage, the first ALPHA release came out on Sep 2003.
  There were a total of 5 ALPHA and 4 BETA releases tested by
  the mailing list users, making this the most stressed and
  polished txt2tags version.
  
  As the first 0.1 version was released in Jul 26, 2001, this
  2.0 release also marks 3 years of coding. I think now the
  program reached a mature state, with a good base to keep
  evolving, always following the sacred KISS principle.
  
  I am also really excited with all the user contributions.
  The program team grew and the tarball is full of goodies.
  
  Take a time to test v2.0, I guess you will like it.
