-Feb 26 2009
-Just added a new feature to better improve 3.0's use of metadata: 
-There are now "tag/pop" directives, to apply metadata to a range of   
-transactions (and their postings).  For example, if you wanted a   
-conceptual "page" of transactions relating to business trip to   
-Chicago, you could do this: 
-   tag Location: Chicago 
-   tag Purpose: Business 
-   ... transactions go here

-It would be as if you'd applied "; Location: Chicago", etc., to every   
-transaction.
