Bug fix - Number categories now added to alphabar

Version 1.1.1 - June 2003

Search change - ./index.php, ./includes/config.inc.php, Added a new search mode for fulltext on title only. This was done because multiple keyword searches on previous fulltext was far too slow, whilst this is not as fast as standard search it is much faster than the old fulltext mode (which is still available if needed). The import for fulltext mode 3 is the fastest of all three search modes.

Version 1.1 - May 2003

New Feature - ./test/dbi.cgi, added MySQL version retrieval so you can see if your version of MySQL is new enough for full text searching mode.
Bugfix - ./index.php, ./includes/classes.inc.php, added checking to see if magic_quotes_gpc is enabled for the search.
New Feature - ./index.php, ./includes/config.inc.php, Added optional ability to use a full text search on links (MySQL 3.23.23 or higher but MySQL 4.0.1 strongly recommended with the following changes)

Version 1.0 - May 2003

Known Issues

If you change the character set in header.tpl to anything other than UTF-8 then the foreign language parts of the directory will cease to work. This is because the ODP RDF dump is in UTF-8 format.
