'Bug' in What's New
There seems to be a very tiny incy wincy bug in the building of "What's New" pages in nph-build.pl lines 981 through 990. Basically, the $build_extension is not used because it is set to open(NEW, ">$date.htm") and, therefore, you cannot change the file name extension unless you replace the .htm with '$build_extension' w/o quotes in the 3 references in that function to .htm .

This is obviously only for spanned pages as the regular single paged "What's New" page works.

Again, very minor, but because I use SSI and some people also do the same for various reasons such as WebAdverts, it might be a pain to be looking everywhere and suddenly realize that the only problem is with the file name extension due to the server's file format filters.

Other than that, I think it's been a very smooth upgrade. Thanks Alex and crew!

If you are speaking of Links v2.0 (you didn't say), you are correct and that bug was brought up before in the Links Beta forum. I guess Alex just didn't remember to get it changed in the official release version. Just change date.htm to date$build_extension in all three places and that does it.
