This is to inform you of the release of Votorola 0.1.10.  The changes
in this release are as follows:

    Doubt signaling was implemented as an adjunct to the trust
    network, serving to indicate suspicious voter registrations.  The
    commands "doubt" and "undoubt" were added to the mail-based voter
    interface, enabling mail users to extend doubt signals.  A 'note'
    field was added to the register, enabling doubted registrants to
    respond.

    Controls and views of the overall trust network were added to the
    Web interface.  Cumulative counts of doubt signals were added to
    the voter list, providing Web users with an overview of problem
    neighbourhoods, and enabling them to zero in on specific, dubious
    registrations.

    A cache was added to relieve the load on remote geocoding
    services.  Item "geocodeDatabase" was added to the subserver
    configuration (subserver.js), for configuring the cache's
    database.  Constraints on the length of user input were tightened,
    closing several security holes.  A theory outline was drafted,
    predicting the rough fit of Votorola in society.

    List compatibility with previous releases is broken.  Any voter
    list compiled by "volist" under a previous release will be
    unmountable under this one.
