I am very pleased to announce the release of version 3.1.2 of ht://Dig. This is the latest stable release and is recommended for all production servers. The new version is available from: http://www.htdig.org/files/htdig-3.1.2.tar.gz Patches to previous releases are found in: http://www.htdig.org/files/ The full ChangeLog for this release is available from: http://www.htdig.org/ChangeLog -Geoff Hutchison ht://Dig Maintainer Release notes for htdig-3.1.2 21 Apr 1999 This version fixes a number of bugs in the 3.1.1 release and is the latest stable release of ht://Dig. It is highly recommended for production servers. * Fixed a bug that ignored META description tags when they were also added to the meta_keywords attribute. * Fixed the HTML comment parsing to be more lenient about non-standard comments. * Fixed problems in the date-parsing code that made it Y2K incompatible. In particular, it forgot that 2000 is a leap year and wouldn't correctly parse dates after 29 Feb 2000. * Fixed a variety of bugs in the HTML parser. * Fixed an old bug that would exclude all URLs if the exclude_urls attribute left empty. * Fixed display of META description tags. Now it always shows the top of a description. If no description exists, it looks for the search terms in the excerpt as usual. * Fixed some small memory leaks. * Changed the htfuzzy endings algorithm to use a more efficient regex system. Speed improvements on non-English languages are noted, now taking minutes for generation that would take days! * Changed the noindex_start and noindex_end attributes to allow case-insensitive matching. * Added on-disk versions of the builtin templates to make it more obvious how to change the results templates. * Added date_format attribute to change the format of dates output in search results. * Added extra_word_characters attribute that defines extra characters that should be considered part of a word, rather than punctuation. * Several other, relatively minor bugs were also fixed. Many thanks to those who sent in bug reports and to Gilles Detillieux for coordinating this release. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the single word "unsubscribe" in the SUBJECT of the message.
