New Code (the sound of the other shoe dropping edition)!

Like Jason, Annotations has staggered out of the graveyard to present the world with version 1.0.4.1, which fixes the (recently?)-broken rss2 and atom generators. (rss2 support was fixed by applying discount 1.1.0, but the old 0.3 Atom format appeared to have fallen completely off the face of the earth, leaving xml files that looked pretty while they produced hundreds of thousands of error messages.)

Those have been fixed, along with a couple of other small tweaks to the codebase:

1. Store the version# in the variable VERSION[] (in version.c) and generate that file as part of the build process.
2. Add a linksok field to the comment structure so I can hand-approved comments with links in them.

3. The definition for rss and atom syndication feeds have changed, thus invalidating my feed generators. Update them.

   • Use Atom 1.0 instead of 0.3 (the schema for Atom 0.3 has vanished)
   • Format markdown input with MKD_CDATA instead of using ![CDATA[…]] to encapsulate html data
   • Don’t use the rss2 schema that <purl.org> links to.

I’ll just put on my biohazard suit, grab the glowing package, and present this New Code to anyone foolish enough to make a grab for it. The management disclaims all liability for brain damage, mutations, or small-scale nuclear conflicts that may arise from operation of this code.
