Hi Allen,

There was a fairly major change made to the special pages tool, and  
the patch that would update existing sites was put in the patches  
directory but by mistake was not added to the scoop.sql file that is  
used for new sites. You can simply apply the patch; it doesn't affect  
anything but the special pages.

This was fixed a couple of days ago; new sites created from a cvs  
scoop checked out after Sunday evening will have the special pages tool.

To apply the patch, issue the following command: (replace <values>  
with whatever is appropriate for your site)

mysql -u <user> -p <scoopdb> </path/to/your/scoop/struct/patch-files/ 
1.0-1.1/patch-27-SpecialAdmin.sql

then type your mysql password.

(Note that command should be all on one line, and there are no spaces  
in the path to the sql patch file.)
