Hi @all,
While there are no more release critical bugs in the current CVS
version, a next offical won't be ready until next week, as there
is still some work to be done, like for example incorporating the
new spanish localisation(!) and fixing some old init-pages/
A new examples/ subdir now collects demo 'layouts', some new
already appeared on sf.net; I however ask for other contributions
in this area. For sample layouts that use graphic files, we could
open a secondary CVS repository and distribution tarball (the main
tarball already growed above 200K).

;-) Already there. I changed parameters for ewiki_auth() to not use the
value backpassing, as doing so is rather inconsistent in my opinion and
would very likely break some things (the _control_links func was affected).
Anyhow the introduction of a general (not limited to _auth) global variable
called $ewiki_errmsg seems a rather good thing - I wonder why I refused
that idea soo long. It is far easier to adopt (all! existing plugins need
tweaking now) than the pass-by-reference-backwards way. Because ewiki is
not OO at all, we cannot throw() anything back or so, and to keep the API
really a 'functional' one this is a better solution.

Some early -dev versions worked that way, but I feel it's far too
complicated to do so, we should go with the simple-booleans.
