     Services 5.0 alpha 12 has been released in the usual place
(http://achurch.org/services/5.0-alpha/).  This release contains many small
changes, and one big change: import-db is (finally!) back, in the new
"tools" subdirectory, and it now converts databases to XML on standard
output instead of modifying the actual Services database files; those can
be saved to disk and then imported using the XML import link from the
httpd/dbaccess module.
