I'm please to announce a minor update to ru, a command-line interface to
roundup.

    ru is inspired by bts (for debbugs) and rt (for Request Tracker).
    The bts manpage begins:

    This is a command line interface to the bug tracking system,
    intended mainly for use by developers. It lets the BTS be
    manipulated using simple commands that can be run at the prompt
    or in a script, does various sanity checks on the input, and
    constructs and sends a mail to the BTS control address for you.

New features in this release:

    - Input validation!
    - New command "ru help" prints usage notes!
    - New commands: search, triage, mine, merge, tag and priority.
    - Include explanatory comments when changing bug properties.

This program is a single Bash script, available here at the URL below.
The parent directory is a Darcs repository; you can "darcs get" it.
It has only ever been tested on Debian 5.0 (Lenny).
Criticism, suggestions, and patches welcome!
