xNews 1.68 Final is out!!!!

and included a new xNews Importer 1.01 beta module to be installed separately.

xNews Importer module is a start to enable importing articles from old news module to xnews and clones and also to import to and from xNews clones.

After some cleaning up and testing it will also import from other xoops article management apps...

With due care it is now possible to have a clone called news as many requested.

*** Important *** Tryout on test server first....

Creating a temporary clone importing old news into it
removing/uninstall/delete old news module once all data is correctly imported and checked.
create a new news clone and import from temporary clone.
