Portal Membership Changes

  This file describes the changes for the current 
  Portal Membership System release.

  NOTE: Significant changes are underfoot!
  The base membership product will remain the same
  but there are being added specialty interfaces:

	- Portal Membership System
	  Users do not automatically get a userfolder
	  This would be handled by the rest of the site
	  (acts the same as MembershipZ did, in that regard)

	- Community Membership System
	  This one will likely create a Userfolder at a 
	  specified path? (Will be done after 1.0)

  There can be others, but I think these will be the 
  ones I will include.


  0.7.5 August 31/Sept 01 2000

  	- Added a try/except clause to the preferences page, in case
	Chrome does not exist.

	- Tested with 2.2.1

	- Fixed Upgrade Form. It used to display only titles, now it uses
	title_or_id
