<h1 align=center>What was New - 1995</h1>
<dl>
<p><dt>December 22, 1995<dd>	Much delayed by my lack of time, a	<a href="synops/048.html">synopsis</a>	of	<a href="guide/048.html">"Passing Through Gethsemane"</a>	is online.
<p><dt>December 14, 1995<dd>	A	<a href="/lurk/ftp/Prodigy/951211-bruce">transcript</a>	of a December 11 Prodigy chat session with Bruce Boxleitner is	available.
<p><dt>December 12, 1995<dd>	<a href="/lurk/p5/intro.html">Poll 5</a>	<a href="/lurk/p5/048">results</a>	for	<a href="/lurk/guide/048.html">"Passing Through Gethsemane"</a>	are available.
<p><dt>December 10, 1995<dd>	JMS's messages from	<a href="/lurk/ftp/America-Online/">America Online</a>	are now being archived (see the file "latest" for the current month's	messages.)  They are also searchable via the	<a href="/lurk/search.html">Find</a>	page.
	<p>	The	<a href="/lurk/ftp/History.Babylonia.html">history of Babylonia</a>	file has been HTMLified.  Thanks to Hallvard B Furuseth.
	<p>	Switched to the table-based Newsflash section on the home page.	The vast majority of responses were positive; the only complaints came	from users of NCSA Mosaic for X, which has had extremely broken table	support recently.  However, such users can upgrade to the latest beta	release of Mosaic, which should make the Newsflash section readable.	Users of non-table-enabled browsers probably won't notice any	difference.
	<p>	The	<a href="credits/041.html">onscreen credits</a>	for	<a href="guide/041.html">"Divided Loyalties"</a>	are online.  Thanks to Dan Dassow.
<p><dt>December 7, 1995<dd>	The flow of	<a href="/lurk/ftp/CompuServe/">JMS CompuServe messages</a>	should be back up to speed now.
<p><dt>December 6, 1995<dd>	Some episode pages have been shuffled around in the past couple days.	If you select an episode and get a different episode's page, use	your browser's reload function and you should get the right page.
	<p>	I'm considering a slight format change to the Newsflash section on	the home page.  Have a look at the	<a href="lurker2.html">alternate version</a>	and let me know if you object.  I know some people are pretty	religious about not using tables for formatting, but this <em>is</em>	tabular information.  In particular I want to know if it breaks	anyone's browser; I believe I've structured it such that it'll look	fine on browsers without table support.  (No need to tell me it works	in Netscape.)  If you're using Mosaic for X, you might want to upgrade	to the latest beta release, which doesn't break horribly on tables like	the most recent previous releases have.
<p><dt>December 5, 1995<dd>	A list of	<a href="universe/appearances-3.html">character appearances</a>	for the first part of season three is available.

It uses tables, but is designed to look	nearly as good on browsers without any table support.  (It breaks on	recent versions of NCSA Mosaic for X, which has severely buggy	tables.)
<p><dt>October 18, 1995<dd>	The	<a href="nav/">Cache Loader</a>	page now exists.  Visit it before you explore the Guide and you'll	preload most of the navigational images into your browser for faster	access.  There's a link to it toward the bottom of the home page.

   <li> A version of the home page without the background is available.
   <li> The <a href="guide/current.html">This Week's Episode</a>	link from the home page should work reliably through caching	proxy gateways now.

(It may take a little while for this change	to be noticed by your proxy, but after that there shouldn't	be a problem.  If you're getting an old episode's page from	the link, try hitting your browser's reload button.)</ul>

<p><dt>January 22, 1995<dd><ul>   <li> Converted the rest of the guide pages to the new format.</ul>
<p><dt>January 21, 1995<dd><ul>   <li> Started retooling the episode guide pages to conform to the Guide's	new look.  Pages up to	<a href="guide/015.html">"Grail"</a>	have been updated so far; more are on their way.   <li> As part of the retooling, added a "Background" link to the guide	pages that gives a short summary of the overall storyline up to	but not including the episode you link from.  The text of the	summary is mostly taken from the latest version of the FAQ List.	Useful if you're just starting to watch the show and want to know	what's gone on before the episode you're about to see.   <li> A new version of the	<a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-faq">Babylon 5 FAQ List</a>	is available on the ftp server.   <li> <a href="/lurk/ftp/Usenet/">JMS Usenet messages</a>	from September 1994 through (part of) January 1995 are available	on the FTP server.</ul>
<p><dt>January 20, 1995<dd><ul>   <li> Reorganized the	<a href="episodes.php">US episode list</a>	page slightly, so it's more intuitive (I hope) and more compact.	Let me know if you think it's significantly better or worse; if	reaction is positive, I'll apply the same general idea to other	parts of the Guide to streamline it.   <li> The guide page for	<a href="guide/030.html">"A Race Through Dark Places"</a>	has been fleshed out, thanks to quick action by Dave Zimmerman.</ul>
<p><dt>January 19, 1995<dd><ul>   <li> Put Dave Zimmerman's page for	<a href="guide/029.html">"Soul Mates"</a>	in place.</ul>
<p><dt>January 17, 1995<dd><ul>   <li> An air schedule for	<a href="countries/cl/episodes.php">Chile</a>	is available.</ul>
<p><dt>January 15, 1995<dd><ul>   <li> A new version of the	<a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-faq">Babylon 5 FAQ List</a>	is available on the ftp server.</ul>
<p><dt>January 14, 1995<dd><ul>   <li> A new version of the UNIX	<a href="/lurk/ftp/b5quote.tar">B5 quote generator</a>	has been uploaded, and its	<a href="http://www.reed.edu/~horde/b5/b5quote.html">FAQ</a>	has been updated.</ul>
<p><dt>January 13, 1995<dd><ul>   <li> Wrote a synopsis of	<a href="comic/002.html">"Treason,"</a>	issue 2 of the	<a href="comic/index.html">comic series.</a>	The rest of the page will be fleshed out shortly.</ul>
<p><dt>January 2, 1995<dd><ul>   <li> The	<a href="/lurk/p5/intro.html">Poll 5</a>	<a href="/lurk/p5/summary.html">results summary</a>	has been updated.</ul>
