ASF 1.3.2 is released. The major change is an improved GILSGEN that can create (using GILS schema) locator records on the fly. The crawler is much improved from 1.3.0. The xwindows interface to the crawler (pavuk) works well and can be invoked by "ASFROOT/bin/ASFcrawl -X". This method provides a more elaborate and user-frendly interface than the Web based interface. A README in the distribution explains how to use the new crawler interface. Documentation is still not complete for ASF.
