Release 0.2.1 is available at the usual place.

This release adds two significant new features:
- The possibility of a short-form display (with thanks to guz/asam for the idea). If you set $config['use_short_form'] = true, then the standard books display will show a limited number of fields and a truncated comments field. The server adds a link to the book that takes the user to the full display for that book. The fields to show in the books display are listed in the config variable $config['fields_in_short_form']. The number of comment characters to display is set in the config variable $config['short_form_comments_length'].

- Where it makes sense, field items are now search URLs. This means that a user can click on a tag to see all books with that tag. Same thing works for all other text-based fields. The creation of URLs is controlled by the config variable $config['fields_to_make_urls'], which has the same syntax as the fields_to_display config variable.

Finally, some links have been moved around to make the display more compact. In particular, the format links are now under the author.

If you have customized your templates, then you may need to change the book template to take advantage of short form or see the moved links.
