What's new with version 1.1:

• Bug fix: now /Author field can be placed also after the first /Title field
• Special Characters: & -> &amp, > -> &gt, < -> &lt Thanks to Gale Andrew

• New input files format: HTML, OTHER

• If HTML and PDF files haven't a description the program uses the file name
• Bugfixes by Bertrand Decouty:
  I believe you have missed the ';' at the end of html characters name (& should be &amp;)
  you do not deal with multiple same letters in one string (add g to end of s/x/&xyz/)

• Every file is groupped in 5 categories: HTML files, PDF files, Graphic files, Compressed files, Others

• Verbose option

• New input file format: VRML v 1.0 (Info node), VRML v 2.0 and 97 (WorldInfo node field info and title)
• Added docs/PDF.notes and docs/VRML.notes

• In HTML files now the program searchs the META Description and Author fields
• Added docs/HTML_META.notes
• Added tests directory

• Added the check to /Subject field in PDF files
• Now /Author, /Title, /Subject fields can be multiline fields
• Added a configuration file: option -c file (Default indexmaker.cfg)
