09/11/2004 - (v2.0.a) Alpha-release of v2. db$id has all been moved to one file - links_data.cgi. The dbcats.cgi file is now links_cats.cgi too. Added the ability to edit the category the link is assigned to.
09/18/2004 - (v2.0.b, aka The Wedding Day Release
) - major bug fixed by Burak (thank you) in picking and choosing the links for each category.
09/30/2004 - (v2.0.g) - features added (thanks to Ian) to allow the user to sort the category page by link name/ added by name, or # of hits. Also cleaned up the top ten code (with major help by Ian) to remove the redundant code since we're now using one file. You can now delete the tenlinks.cgi file. A few buglets remain before 2.0 final.
10/02/2004 - (v2.0 Gold) - bug cleaned up to allow selection of cat name instead of number upon edit when moving link to another category. Major feature added with a lot of help by LK, Charles Capps, and Ian Spence to rebuild the number of links in each category - you'll find a link to do so at the bottom of the admin page.
10/05/2004 - (v2.0.1) - buglet fixed with lightbulbs and a bit of code cleanup
01/30/2005 - (v2.5 beta) - A beta version of a gossamer-threads links 2.0 importer added, much thanks goes to Ian Spence and Burak for assitance.
With the release of 2.0 Gold it is moved to 'finished' status and the ubb.classic version supported is 6.7+ (I don't think it'll work out of the box with 6.6 anymore). There's probably a buglet or 3 left, but they're pretty much inconsequential and will be fixed shortly. Future plans include possibly a yahoo-style interface.
