Posted Sep 1, 2006

The "Sorceror's Apprentice" update fixes a bug that prevented installation on servers without Image::Magick installed. The update also adds a new preference to specify the title that appears on the tip summary page and fixes a pair of bugs:

  • Fixed a typo in the default email "from" field.
