> Collection grouping
> --------------------
>
> Greenstone now supports grouping collections into subfolders in the collect
> directory. A collection group folder must contain an etc folder with a
> collect.cfg file, with "collectgroup true" set. Collection metadata
> "collectionname" and "collectionextra" are used for display. Collections
> can
> be placed in a collectgroup folder.
> In the library, a single icon will be presented on the Greenstone home page
> for the collect group (with the "collectionname" as title). Clicking this
> icon will take users to a second home page, containing all collections that
> are part of the group.
> *GLI is able to load and build, delete, and base collections on those in a
> collect group. But is not yet able to create one inside a group.
> * Collect groups can only be one level deep, i.e. you can't have a
> collectgroup inside another collectgroup.
>
> The documented example collections are being updated for Greenstone
> 2.82, and
> will be re-released soon. They are now released as a collect group, so no
> longer clutter up the home page.
>
> Source Code and File Structure:
> -------------------------------
>
> There is a new top-level web folder in a greenstone installation. This
> contains images, style, script, java, and flash folders. This replaces the
> old images folder, which used to contain CSS and flash files as well as
> images.
> New macros are available to access these folders: _httpimages_ (as well as
> old _httpimg_), _httpstyle_, _httpscript_, _httpflash_, _httpjava_.
> Collection specific versions of these folders can be accessed using the
> macros _httpcimages_, _httpcstyle_, _httpcscript_, _httpcflash_,
> _httpcjava_.
>
> All GDBM files in Greenstone (collection databases as well as users, key,
> history databases) now use file extension gdb (instead of db/ldb/bdb).
> Note,
> a conversion step is applied to old collections, so they should still
> rebuild ok.
>
> library (unix) and library.exe are both renamed to library.cgi.

> Greenstone now compiles under Ubuntu. Please see
