The beta2 release now indexes the text found in ALT attributes
	for both IMG and AREA elements.

	I've updated the WWW.pm Perl library included with SWISH++ to
	include the new extract_description() function discussed here.
	There's also another new hyperlink() function that makes valid
	URL substrings into selectable links in a browser.  The
	documentation has been updated (but only in the tar file, not
	the manual pages directly fom the SWISH++ home page).  The
	sample search.cgi script has also been updated to use the new
	functions.

	You can obtain the latest beta release from the SWISH++ home
	page:
