for production servers and users of all previous versions are

Release Notes:
* Fixed a long-standing bug where search queries containing
punctuation would not be highlighted in excerpts.
* Fixed a bug where SGML entities inside HTML tags were not
expanded.
* Fixed the server_aliases attribute to default to port 80 if
ommitted.
* Fixed a bug in URL parsing, where documents ending in the value
used for remove_default_doc were ignored. For example, a URL
ending in /left_index.html would become /.
* Fixed META robot parsing to correctly parse multiple directives.
* Fixed a coredump when generating the metaphone fuzzy database on
some systems.
* Fixed the behavior of to work as documented.
* Fixed the behavior of htdig to block out the username/password set
on the command-line in process listing.
* Fixed a bug with external parsers to prevent shell escapes in
filenames.
* Fixed a bug on some systems, where printing a date might crash.
* Handles the ispell endings lists better so that suffixes more
closely match grammatical rules.
* Changed the maximum word length to a run-time option, set with the
new attribute maximum_word_length.
* Tests for the presence of alloca.h, which would cause problems
with compiling the regex code under non-GNU compilers.
* Added support for <EMBED>, <OBJECT>, and <LINK> HTML tags.
* A variety of other bugs were fixed, see the ChangeLog for
details.
* When indexing, htdig should now attempt to index compound words as
separate words in addition to a compound word. For example,
"pdf_parser" would also be indexed as "pdf" and "parser."
* Once again, thanks to everyone who reported bugs and bug fixes.
