Release 0.5.7 has been posted, the following changes been incorporated:

A new utility tv_to_text, which generates a plain text summary of
listings similar to tv_to_latex for latex, has been added.
Some minor installation problems (in Makefile.PL) have been solved.
Tv_check now offers producing dates in the form of DDMM instead of
MMDD as well as some improved documentation. The tv_grab_na grabber
has gone through a number of changes to workaround new zap2it.com
format changes (see tv_grab_na BUGS section) and prototypes new
warnings about release update availabilites. tv_grab_uk continues
to keep up with channel id/availablily changes at Ananova. The
xmltv.exe wrapper code now checks setting the --share option for
tv_grab_uk and tv_grab_uk_rt.

The xmltv team would like to thank the xmltv-devel list for some great
bug reports and support, along with the user communities of freeguide-tv
and mythtv. I'd like to personally thank Stephen Bain for helping with
keeping up with format changes on the tv_grab_na side.

I expect the windows executable to follow - thanks Robert.
