     Services 5.0 alpha 11 has been released, and can be downloaded from
the Services home page (http://www.ircservices.za.net/) as usual.  The
major addition this time is XML importing, i.e. database merging.  (Those
of you with sharp eyes may have noticed an extra file called
"xml-import.c" in modules/misc that never got compiled--well, now you know
what it is. :) )  Importing is currently only possible through the
httpd/dbaccess module, which will put up an import link if you load the
xml-import module; you may also need to increase RequestBufferSize in
modules.conf (for httpd/main) depending on the size of the file you send,
since it all has to fit in a single request buffer (at least currently).
It's not heavily tested, but it should know enough not to choke if you try
to feed it an MP3.
