Surfraw is now maintained by the Debian Surfraw-Devel Team. Please
report bugs to <surfraw-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>, and feel
free to join us on the list.
There have been many changes since the last official release.

raging swhois
Elvi now live in /usr/lib/surfraw (or /usr/local/lib/surfraw)
Use surfraw-update-path to add this directory to your path or
prefix elvi with sr or surfraw, eg "sr google foo bar".
Bookmarks can be defined in /etc/surfraw.bookmarks or
~/.surfraw.bookmarks. See /etc/surfraw.bookmarks for the format.
Bookmarks can be used with "sr [options] bookmarkname".
There is now a test suite. "make test" to run it or
see test/README.
For a full list of changes since the last release, see
debian/changelog. From this release onwards, changes will be
logged in ./ChangeLog as normal.

If you used surfraw-update-path from version 2.0 to add the elvi
directory to your path, you will need to run it again, first with
