* Bug Fixes:

    Bug ID  Summary
    ------  ------------------------------------------------------------
     4126   Typo in mhopt.pl causes error message for big5

     4315   allowcomments' directive to filter() is ignored

     &set=custom&advsrch=0&msort=0&report_id=105&go_report=Go
     &fix_release=2.6.5&chunksz=50>

* An architecture independent RPM package is now provided for
  installation.  Because of this, the package name format has slightly
  changed to be consistent RPM, and other, package managers:

      Old format      New Format
      -------------   -------------
      MHonArcX.X.X    MHonArc-X.X.X

  Installation document has been updated to reflect this change.

  If you create third-party distribution bundles for MHonArc, you may
  need to update your bundling process to take account of this change,
  mainly because the directory created when extracting the tar or
  zip bundles now include the hyphen.

Vendor Supplied Packages

Some software system vendors provide MHonArc, usually as an optional
package. The following links provide vendor-supplied versions of MHonArc:

Debian GNU/Linux
<http://packages.debian.org/mhonarc>
Linux (multiple vendors/distros)
<http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=MHonArc>

NOTE: Choosing to go with a vendor-supplied package depends on your needs.
Here are some things to consider:

* Some vendors may have their own QA process along with their own
support services while others may provide MHonArc as a
contributed package with no additional support.

* Vendor/distro versions of MHonArc tend not to reflect the latest
release since there is a latency between a new release made
available from mhonarc.org to when vendors are able to download
and create their own packages. This difference can be important
depending on what MHonArc features or fixes you need.

In general, if your vendor provides their own QA and support services
for the software they provide, it is usually best to use the vendor's
version of MHonArc. However, if the vendor does not provide
additional support, and/or you need the latest features and fixes,
you may want go with what is provided from mhonarc.org.

If you require professional support and consulting, see Contacts for
contact information.

This document does not cover any installation details for vendor supplied
packages. See your vendor's supplied documentation for installation
instructions.

Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN), MHonArc can be downloaded from
<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/EHOOD/>.
various sites that you can download MHonArc.

MHonArc is distributed in the following formats:

* tar-bz2: MHonArcX.X.X.tar.bz2
* tar-gzip: MHonArcX.X.X.tar.gz
* zip: MHonArcX.X.X.zip
* RPM: MHonArc-X.X.X-n.noarch.rpm
* tar-bz2: MHonArc-X.X.X.tar.bz2
* tar-gzip: MHonArc-X.X.X.tar.gz
* zip: MHonArc-X.X.X.zip

Where X.X.X represents the version number, and X.X.X-n represents the
version and release number of the RPM. Generally, the release number is
equal to '1'. Choose the format that best suits your environment.

NOTE: Alternate distribution formats for MHonArc may be available from
third-parties. Alternate distribution formats are not covered in this
document.

If you downloaded the RPM distribution, goto RPM Installation. If you
downloaded one of the other formats, goto Extracting the MHonArc
Distribution.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RPM Installation

RPM is a widely used software package manager for various Linux-based
systems and sometimes used for other Unix-based environments. If the
software on your system is managed by RPM, you may prefer to install
MHonArc via RPM:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|prompt> rpm -Uvh MHonArc-X.X.X-n.noarch.rpm |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

where X.X.X represents the version number.
NOTE: RPM-based installation requires that the perl executable is located
at /usr/bin/perl.

Alternate distribution formats for MHonArc may be available, like Linux
RPM. Alternate distribution formats are not covered in this document.
MHonArc files will be installed in the following locations:

/usr/bin: Program files: mhonarc, mha-dbedit, ...
/usr/lib/MHonArc: Library files.
/usr/share/doc/MHonArc-X.X.X: Documentation, examples, and extras.
/usr/share/man/man1: Manpages.

It is highly likely that you will need to have root priviledges to install
via RPM. If you do not have root access, or you want to install in a
non-standard location, you will need to install MHonArc from the non-RPM
bundles.

Once the install is completed, you can skip to Post Installation
Configuration.

NOTE: RPM distributions have been directly available starting with MHonArc
v2.6.5. However, alternate RPM packages are available for current and
older versions via third parties and some Linux distros. Goto <http:/
/www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=MHonArc> to get a
list of third-party RPM bundles.

After downloading MHonArc, it is best to move the file to a temporary
location for extraction. To extract the distribution under Unix-like
