I've posted the changelog in the extended entry. Two things of imporance:

  1. Back up your database file.
  2. Submit any remaining bugs via email (erik @ the domain above) or via IM (iacas on AIM, and please introduce yourself). Please do not use this post for bug reports or feature requests.

We've changed the styles as well. I've uploaded all that we have at PF101b1-styles.zip.
