	* Updated all test scripts to read $verbose from @ARGV (command line
	arguments), and other test script improvements.

	* Updated these sections of the ReadMe file: INSTALLATION.

2001-09-03   Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>

	* Release 2.02.

	* This release is primarily for making the html that this class outputs more 
	like W3C's new XHTML standard, and give it better support for stylesheets.  
	The public interface for this module has not changed, so you can continue 
	using it as you did before.  You are recommended to use HTML::EasyTags 1.06 
	or later with this, though version 1.03 will still work.

	* Any code changes are mostly cosmetic.  When generating forms or reports 
	within tables, this class now generates the table/tr/td html tags without 
	any attributes; they used align/valign/cellspacing/cellpadding before.  
	It is recommended that you use a stylesheet to align cell contents the way 
	that you want, for example: 'TD {text-align: left; vertical-align: top}'.

	What this means is that form elements which were colored before, such as 
	each of the required/error/private flags and the error text, are now not 
	coloured.  However, since all of these are still identifiable by their 
	character composition, this shouldn't be a serious problem.

	* The SYNOPSIS documentation has been updated such that it's corresponding 
	sample output has three examples: html for initial run and when Submit is 
	clicked, plus what the generated email looks like.

	* A BUGS section has been added to the documentation near the top that 
	mentions remaining compatability issues with the XHTML or HTML standards.  
	However, this module's output should continue to work with web browsers.

	* Release 2.01.

	* Fixed bug related to organizing field groups into tables.  Previously the 
	field definition attributes [table_rows/rows, table_cols/cols, table_acrf] 
	were not fetched properly, causing strange effects like having a single 
	table column when two were requested.  The table feature now works properly.

SUPPORT

Currently I don't have any support arranged with other people, lists, newsgroups,
or otherwise.  Feel free to ask me if you can't figure things out on your own, or
another person whom you know has used this.  I may start a mailing list for 
support issues later, so that users of my modules can help each other with them.

TO DO

	* Correct remaining issues related to output html so that it validates 
	completely against W3C's XHTML spec.
	* Add a battery of tests to ensure that the module is working properly.
	* Allow echo reports to show the selection field labels for the user input 
	instead of the "values" that are actually passed behind the scenes.
	* Add field attribute read_only, allowing once-editable field data to share 
	screen space with still-editable field data.
	* Allow individual editing of internally stored field definitions, rather 
	than requiring that they are all defined at once.
	* Customize validation error messages so they give a better idea what about 
	the entry was inappropriate (eg: wrong number of selections).
	* Add support for customizing the appearance of forms more, such as having
