        Hey, All,

        I'm pleased to announce that NewtWiki 0.5.0 is ready!

        NewtWiki adds automatic hyperlinking to Notes. With NewtWiki, any
word or phrase becomes a hyperlink, linking to a note with the same title
in the same folder. Links are followed by gesturing with the pen over the
word, like you do in NewtsCape. If no note exists to link to, you will be
given the option to create a new note from a template.

        NewtWiki enables you to keep track of information on your Newton
in a similar manner to the way you remember things. It is fast (if you've
used past versions, especially the dog-slow 0.4.0 versions, you'll really
notice an improvement), small (~25KB after installing) and transparent
(nothing to get in your way).

        NewtWiki includes the ability to link to external applications (as
of this version you can link to Names, Dates, Works documents,
NewtonBooks, URLs and Packages) using a simple link format. It also
includes special links to do things like display a list of notes that link
to the current note. A small button is installed in Notes to make it easy
to use these special links. NewtWiki also installs a simple bookmark
application (kind of a brain-dead version of Notes) that allows you to
keep lists of links separate from Notes.

        NewtWiki is available at http://www.narcosislabs.org/NewtWiki/
