Changes to the Packages Collection in October 1998
==================================================

Two new categories have been added:  parallel, and japanese, we have
added package versioning support to the packages collection, and a
check is now made, automatically, when building packages, that the
pkg_install tools are up to date.  Notable additions are:  coda, many
more benchmarks, the parallel packages like pvm, mpi-ch, and glunix,
basic GNOME functionality, and nawk.  Notable updated packages include
apache, fetchmail, gtk, kaffe, lesstif, mysql, squid-current, tcsh,
and ucd-snmp.
