<h1 align=center>What was New - 1996</h1>
<dl>
<p><dt>December 30, 1996<dd>	The onscreen credits for	<a href="credits/067.html">"The Hour of the Wolf,"</a>	<a href="credits/068.html">"Whatever Happened to Mr. Garibaldi,"</a>	<a href="credits/069.html">"The Summoning,"</a>	and	<a href="credits/070.html">"Falling Toward Apotheosis"</a>	are online.
	<p>	A glitch in all the credits pages has been fixed; this should make	the credits look a lot better under Microsoft Internet Explorer.	(For the technically minded, the problem was that the alignment	from the preceding &lt;p&gt; tag was being carried over into a	&lt;pre&gt; block.)
<p><dt>December 25, 1996<dd>	A	<a href="synops/069.html">synopsis</a>	of	<a href="guide/069.html">"The Summoning"</a>	is online.
<p><dt>December 21, 1996<dd>	The archive of JMS'	<a href="/lurk/ftp/CompuServe/">CompuServe</a>	and	<a href="/lurk/ftp/Usenet/">Usenet</a>	messages from September through November has been split apart into	smaller files.  Apologies to everyone who suffered through the	excruciatingly long download before.
	<p>	A new introduction to the Background section of the episode guide	for season four is in place.  (Select the "Background" link from an	episode's guide page to see a summary of the story up to, but not	including, that episode.)
	<p>	The	<a href="making/effects.html">Effects</a>	page has been updated to reflect the fact that Foundation Imaging	no longer does B5's special effects.
<p><dt>December 19, 1996<dd>	<a href="p5/intro.html">Poll 5</a>	<a href="p5/070">results</a>	for	<a href="guide/070.html">"Falling Toward Apotheosis"</a>	are online.
<p><dt>December 10, 1996<dd>	A	<a href="synops/070.html">synopsis</a>	of	<a href="guide/070.html">"Falling Toward Apotheosis"</a>	is online.  The synopsis of	<a href="guide/069.html">"The Summoning"</a>	should be available shortly.
	<p>	A revamped version of Edwin Yau's	<a href="/lurk/ftp/uk-guide/">UK episode guide</a>	is available.
<p><dt>November 26 - December 10, 1996<dd>	On vacation.
<p><dt>November 25, 1996<dd>	A	<a href="synops/068.html">synopsis</a>	of	<a href="guide/068.html">"Whatever Happened to Mr. Garibaldi?"</a>	is online.

<p><dt>November 2, 1996<dd>	Several recent months' worth of	<a href="/lurk/ftp/GEnie/index.html">JMS GEnie messages</a>	have been uploaded.
<p><dt>October 30, 1996<dd>	Lots of little changes all over the Guide today.  I took the day off	work to spend plowing through some of my E-mail backlog.  I've	gotten through 220 messages so far; sadly, that's not even half the	backlog, but I'll attempt to catch up before season four begins.	Please bear with me if you notice something is out of date -- it's	almost undoubtedly on my to-do list already, and more mail about it	will only slow me down further!
<p><dt>October 17, 1996<dd>	I'll be out of town until October 21, so if you don't see pages	getting updated over the weekend, that's why.
	<p>	A new version of the B5 FAQ is available:
	<ul>	   <li> <a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-faq">The main FAQ, covering general		questions.</a>	   <li> <a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-news-schedule">News and schedules.</a>	   <li> <a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-setting-s1">Season one.</a>	   <li> <a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-setting-s2">Season two.</a>	   <li> <a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-setting-s3">Season three.</a>	   <li> <a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-setting-s4">Season four.</a>  Just		a placeholder for now.	</ul>
<p><dt>October 14, 1996<dd>	A schedule for	<a href="countries/wbtv/eplist.html">WBTV</a>	in Central and South America is available.
<p><dt>October 13, 1996<dd>	A transcript of JMS' October 11	<a href="/lurk/ftp/Misc/jms-irc-961011">IRC chat session</a>	is available.
<p><dt>October 9, 1996<dd>	The Poll 5 votetaker is now maintaining Web pages with a	<a href="http://people.delphi.com/mike100000/p5summary.html">summary</a>	of the results, and an up-to-date version of the results for the	<a href="http://people.delphi.com/mike100000/current-p5.">current	episode.</a>
<p><dt>October 8, 1996<dd>	Some of you have noted that the Guide isn't using inline JPEGs any	more.  They'll be back!  The method I was using to choose between	JPEGs and GIFs turned out to be too heavy a load on the server.	Luckily, we'll be installing a faster machine in the next couple	of weeks.  And, spare time permitting, I'll shortly be implementing	a more efficient way of doing the picture selection.  The JPEGs	will return when the first of those two things happens.  Thanks	for your patience.
<p><dt>October 3, 1996<dd>	A	<a href="/lurk/ftp/Misc/vortex.txt">transcript</a>	of a recent interview with Bruce Boxleitner, John Copeland, and	Jerry Doyle is available.
	<p>	New versions of parts of the B5 FAQ are online:
	<ul>	   <li> <a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-faq">The main FAQ, covering general		questions.</a>	   <li> <a href="/lurk/ftp/babylon-5-news-schedule">News and schedules.</a>	</ul>
<p><dt>October 1, 1996<dd>	Hyperion has moved to a new ISP yet again.  If you see that your	browser is listing this server as "http://199.165.129.193/", your	browser is keeping old host addresses around longer than it's	supposed to.  You'll want to restart it at some point (though	the old address will continue to be forwarded to the new one for	at least a week.)
<p><dt>September 28, 1996<dd>	The spoiler page for	<a href="guide/065.html">"Shadow Dancing"</a>	and its	<a href="synops/065.html">synopsis</a>	have been moved to the main part of the Guide.
	<p>	So has the spoiler page for	<a href="guide/066.html">"Z'ha'dum."</a>

<p><dt>September 22, 1996<dd>	The spoiler pages for	<a href="guide/062.html">"Walkabout"</a>	and	<a href="guide/063.html">"Grey 17 Is Missing"</a>	have moved to the main part of the Guide.  The remaining	season-three episodes' pages are still being maintained separately.
<p><dt>September 17, 1996<dd>	The	<a href="http://search.intertext.com/b5/066.html">spoiler page</a>	for	<a href="guide/066.html">"Z'ha'dum"</a>	now contains a synopsis.

<p><dt>September 2, 1996<dd>	The	<a href="support/index.html">B5 Support Page</a>	has had a major update.  (It happened on August 28, in fact.)
	<p>	The onscreen credits for	<a href="guide/062.html">"Walkabout"</a>	and	<a href="guide/063.html">"Grey 17 Is Missing"</a>	are online.  Thanks to George Chauvet for transcribing them.

<p><dt>August 15, 1996<dd>	The layout of the	<a href="/lurk/countries/us/eplist.html">US/Canada episode list</a>	has been changed slightly.  Let me know if it causes problems for you.
<p><dt>August 3, 1996<dd>	A new version of the	<a href="/lurk/ftp/uk-guide/b5uk-epguide.txt">UK episode guide</a>	text file has been uploaded.

<p><dt>July 23, 1996<dd>	This week's	<a href="http://www.iguide.com/tv/magazine/current/ftr3f2.sml">TV Guide</a>	article on B5 is available online.  (That link probably won't work	after July 29.)
<p><dt>July 17, 1996<dd>	We have started putting JPEG versions of some of our inline images	in place alongside the GIF versions.  Our server should automatically	feed you an image type your browser can handle; if you find you're	getting garbage or a broken-image icon where you used to get a	picture, please let us know.  The change will be an ongoing process	over the next several weeks.  JPEG provides significant savings in	file size, and thus download time, for some images; it also looks	much better in many cases, especially on 16-million-color displays.
	<p>	Not all images will be JPEGged, just those that benefit either in	appearance or size.  That means most of the navigational icons will	remain GIFs even for people who can handle inline JPEGs.
	<p>	This feature will probably not be available on mirror sites, which	will continue to serve up GIF images.
<p><dt>July 15, 1996<dd>	New versions of all the files in the B5 FAQ are online:

	<p>	By popular demand, new entries in the guide pages will now have	modification dates next to them.  Items older than two weeks won't	have dates, so you can scan for the dates to see what's generally	new, then look at the individual dates to see how new each thing is.
