NEWS excerpt:

  - 1.3 | 2012-09-19

    - Distribution now .tar.xz

        If you have GNU tar, you can use "tar xf" and it will DTRT.
        If not, you can use "xz -dc TARBALL | tar xf -" to unpack.

    - "make check" runs check-wikid

        The makefile variable ‘CHECKTIME’ (default 99) specifies how
        many seconds check-wikid should wait before shutting down the
        daemon.  E.g., "make check CHECKTIME=300" waits 5 minutes.

    - Changes to check-wikid

      - wikid-admin dumping commands exercized

        The wikid-admin commands ‘dump-db’ and ‘dump-db-as-seed’ are now
        run prior to the wait loop, leaving file ‘dump’ and directory
        ‘dumped-seed’, respectively, in ‘check-wikid.d’.

      - KEEPD=1 inhibits deletion of check-wikid.d afterwards

        This is so you can inspect the log files, etc.

    - Dropped misfeature: ‘.’ ("itself")

        The wref ‘<<.>>’ used to expand to display "itself", w/ a link
        to the current page.  Now, we've outgrown that silliness.

    - New dependencies: Guile-WWW, Guile-GDBM

        See README.
