	* README: update WNHOME/WNSEARCHDIR doc w/ Debian/Ubuntu tip

2009-03-20  Jason Rennie

	* release 1.48
	* fix handling of WNSEARCHDIR

2009-03-14  Danny Brian

	* added the ability for new() to take a named param list
	* added a new() param "noload" to not preload index files, but to
	instead use Search::Dict lookups thereafter
	* added _getIndexFH() and _getDataFH() to consolidate opening and
	caching of filehandles
	* added _dataLookup() to consolidate reads from data files
	* added _indexLookup() to consolidate reads from index files
	* added _indexOffsetLookup() to consolidate offset reads from index
	files
	* added _parseIndexLine() to consolidate the parsing of index file lines
	* moved path data to new(), so that everything reads off of $self->{dir}
	* removed the cntlinst path special-casing
	* all file opens are deferred until necessary; for noload this means as
	long as possible, for caching it means during the constructor (see
	_get*FH() functions)
	* documented "noload" option
	* loop tests again for "noload"
	* cleaned up formatting

2004-11-10  Beata Klebanov

	* QueryData.pm: Identified the following bug:
	validForms("hating#v") returns ["hate#v", "hat#v"]; problem is
	that only the first matching rule of detachment (with a
	corresponding entry in Wordnet) should be used.
	validForms/forms/_forms/tokenDetach code needs to be restructured
	to reflect this.
