OK. I should have looked at the 'tests' files more carefully. I get it now.

That's fine - I understand we're still at an early stage and changing things
will not affect many people. But I do need to know what the changes are so
a) I can make my stuff work and b) the Debian packages tell people what the
changes are. Did I miss a note somewhere, or another perl script that makes
changes?

I did read the Thbook and it seemed to still say that that the above
format was OK - maybe it's out of date and maybe I misunderstood but if I
can't work it out I don't think other users have much chance :-)

Did anything else important change?

I'll update the docs accordingly and upload 0.2.13-2 shortly.
