[ic] Interchange 5.0.0 release

[Jon Jensen]

The Interchange Development Group is pleased to announce the release of
Interchange 5.0.0, beginning a new stable series that is the culmination
of over a year of development including hundreds of improvements to the
core, the admin, and the Foundation catalog. The full changelog is
viewable here:

http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.0/WHATSNEW

We recommend that all new development be done with Interchange 5.0. Many 
users of earlier versions of Interchange will want to consider upgrading 
to Interchange 5.0 after testing it for suitability with their catalogs in 
a development environment. Some upgrade notes are included with the 
software.

Packages are available for download at the URLs listed below.

Debian packages:

Source RPM:

Red Hat Linux 7.2/7.3 RPMs:

http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.0/rpm/interchange-5.0.0-1.7.i386.rpm
http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.0/rpm/interchange-foundation-5.0.0-1.7.i386.rpm
http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.0/rpm/interchange-foundation-demo-5.0.0-1.7.i386.rpm

Red Hat Linux 9 RPMs, which require a nonthreaded Perl build with the
executable in /usr/local/bin/perl:

http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.0/rpm/interchange-5.0.0-1.9.i386.rpm
http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.0/rpm/interchange-foundation-5.0.0-1.9.i386.rpm
http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.0/rpm/interchange-foundation-demo-5.0.0-1.9.i386.rpm

Note that when installing the Red Hat Linux 9 RPMs, you'll probably
need to use the --nodeps option since rpm doesn't know about the custom
Perl build in /usr/local. You should install the main interchange
RPM with --nodeps first, then install interchange-foundation and
interchange-foundation-demo normally with a separate command, since they
depend on the interchange package, and rpm doesn't know what order to
install them in when you use --nodeps.
