• Support for command toolbar in PalmOS 3.5 (Dirk Heiser)
• Category support in DB Manager (Michael Nordström)
• Possible to copy URLs to the clipboard (Chris Hawks)
• Support for ZLib compressed databases (Michael Nordström)
• Support for BASE tag in documents (Bill Janssen)
• Improved table support (Bill Janssen)
• New config file option to suppress compression of small images, no_image_compression_limit (Dirk Heiser)
• New flag (and config file option) to set the default category, --category (Michael Nordström)
• Support for underline tags (<U>). When it is activated in the preference all links will be indicated using the dotted line. Use the strike-through option to still be able to distinguish visited and unvisited links. (Michael Nordström)
• Man page for the parser (Bill Janssen)

• New record added to store references to the URL records, see PluckerDB.html for details. (Chris Hawks)
• The ZLib support uses the PalmOS shared library that Tom Zerucha has created. This library will also work with Boxer (written by Tom), http://www.palmboxer.com/ . More info about the library is available at http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/
• Added support to config files for both prc-tools-2.0 and prc-tools-0.6.0 (Michael Nordström)
• New database format that should allow us to expand the format in the future without rendering previous versions obsolete, see PluckerDB.html for details. (Michael Nordström)
• Fixed a (harmless) bug in the session handling that has gone unnoticed for a very long time. (Michael Nordström)
• Changed the handling of Show images, so that there will still be a "[img]" tag when you choose to not show images. Previously, nothing was displayed which made it impossible to use image links. (Michael Nordström)
• The ConfigFiles.py file now makes sure that the default value, if specified, is of the correct type. It also abstracts out the operation of looking up the option in the configs, to a new method, _get_string, which does not take an option. (Bill Janssen)
• Fix to avoid Palm OS bug in bitmap compression (Michael Nordström)
• Fix to avoid buffer overflow for long database names (Michael Nordström)
• Fix to avoid problems with AutoCF when searching in databases located on the CF card (Michael Nordström)
• Fix to avoid Palm OS bug in DmSetDatabaseInfo (Michael Nordström)
• Other bug fixes (Michael Nordström)
