 I'm happy to announce a new release of Library a la Carte. This release has
many new features, changes and bug fixes!

New Features in the Tool:

Search Pages, Guides, Tutorials and Modules.
This feature should help you find your content quicker in the tool. This
search is a full text search that searches most of your content.

We found a bug in 1.4.5 that is critical.  I pushed a bug fix out. See http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=6732

Replace guide_controller.rb with the one in the package.

The most common response we have received from other Libraries over the last two years about Library a la Carte is:

"We love it! But we don't have the IT support to host it."
