Thu Nov 19 05:10:34 AEDT 1998


Estimated hours taken: 0.5

Update the WWW pages to reflect the release of 0.8.

w3/news/newsdb.inc:
	Use 3-character abbreviation for month, since for some
	reason it didn't seem to like using the full month name.
	Update the message to say that 0.8 has now been released.

w3/download/include/release.inc:
w3/download/include/old-release.inc:
	Add URLs for the Stonybrook ftp site, now that
	Kostis Sagonas has copied everything there.
	Add trailing slashes to the ftp directory URLs.
