Subject: [ANN] Yams 0.6.0 Released

Yams 0.6.0 was released today.

The major enhancement is the addition of session ids. These allow the host
of the referrer to be tracked, the shopping and secure servers to have
different urls, and the addition of a "Return from whence you came" link
to the end of the ordering process.

I've also setup the bug tracking on sourceforge and hope to start adding
the known bugs and feature requests today. 

This version is available at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=64
