Announce: xmltv-0.3 released

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

XMLTV is a file format for storing TV listings and a set of tools for
working with that format.  The file format includes a fairly rich set of
metadata for describing TV programmes and channels.

The tools include listings grabbers for Britain, Canada and the US which
parse websites and output structured XML data.  Then there are tools to
sort and print the listings, and a (fairly basic) web interface to let
you choose what you want to watch and automatically filter out things
you don't like.

This release is version 0.3 of XMLTV.  It now has working listings once
more for the US and Canada.  XMLTV is free software distributed under
the GPL, but the file format and DTD is not restricted in any way.

Have a look at <http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~epa98/work/apps/xmltv/> or
just mail me if you want to ask questions.

This is just a one-off spam to those people who I've talked to in the
past about this project.  We have now set up a mailing list
(<http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xmltv-announce>) for
announcements, so I will not announce any future releases in this
way.

Please do check it out if you're interested either in XML representation
of TV schedules (I like to think our format is richer and easier to work
with than the others I've seen) or in trying to automate your search to
see whether there's anything good on TV.
