+<p>Version 5.6 of the ACK has now hit Sourceforge and is

+This version has been tweaked and fiddled with until it compiles, very nearly cleanly, on
+Linux systems (all that were available for testing): it should work without too much hassle
+on most other platforms. This release contains full documentation, all the front ends,
+all the back ends, all the libraries, and all the binary conversion tools, and should
+actually be useful. Don't forget to <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=130811">join

+<p>Version 5.6 compiles cleanly on Linux, but it has had little testing so far.
