Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I pushed an updated Catalyst
Manual to CPAN yesterday.   Almost all of the changes pertained to the
tutorial.  A big thanks to Caelum for doing most of the SQLite foreign
key work.  Also thanks to xenoterracide for a variety of edits to
early chapters.  "Full" set of changes listed below (with a summary of
prior changes below that).

Regards,
Kennedy
