Here is an excerpt from the changelog (since the last release):
Mon Apr 5 13:34:00 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* v.007beta - second release
* Revamped local files - now use file:/ instead of nonstandard local:/
* Added better handling of definition lists. (No support for Compact
ones now though)
Fri Apr 2 10:28:08 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* Definition lists now keep their zones/extents so they are highlighted
correctly.
* Fixed bug in <PRE> handling - left out a (goto-char (point-min))
Wed Mar 31 08:51:04 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* Did work on resolving ./ & ../ links (only works for one level right
now. Will work on getting it recursive later.
* Changed data field in extents/zones to be (w3 . <type>) so I
wouldn't grab a wrong item.
* Fixed a bug in title handling. Left something out of an if
statement and it would try to delete a region that (probably) didn't
exist.
* Fixed bug in w3-follow-link (added a ':' to end of regexp). Would
cause it to screw up on a url like http.html. Thanks to Erik Ostrom
(eostrom@nic.gac.edu)
* Changed requires to autoloads where possible
* Wrapped require of transparent.el so it won't get loaded if in X
* Fixed bug in lemacs mouse links.
* Applied numerous patches from har@cs.cmu.edu & jwz@lucid.com to fix
compilation problems with lemacs & epoch.
Tue Mar 30 15:05:01 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* Added mouse support for following links in epoch & lucid emacs
Store the link # in the data segment of the zone. If mouse is
clicked in a zone, extract the data, assoc it with w3-links-list and
call w3-follow-link with it. Hacky but works. :)
* Added (provide 'w3) for easier loading, etc.
* Fixed problems with epoch highlihting
* Fixed makefile problem (some files left out)
Sun Mar 28 13:04:12 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* Added auto-viewing of ps/gif/jpg/etc files
* Added uncompression and gunzipping auto-recognition
Sat Mar 27 12:32:54 1993 William M. Perry (wmperry@indiana.edu)
* v.004beta - first release
* Few changes to the parser
* Fixed PRE Handling so it parses out urls inside.
* Added handling of &#XXX to insert ascii value of XXX.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them
down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
