Analog 4.90beta1: What's new in this version?

4.90beta1 (22-Jan-01)

This is the first beta test for version 5.

• Twelve new reports: Yearly Report, Quarterly Report, Five-Minute Summary, Quarter-Hour Summary, Hour of the Week Summary, Host Failure Report, Host Redirection Report, Virtual Host Failure Report, Virtual Host Redirection Report, User Redirection Report, Internal Search Word Report and Internal Search Query Report.
• Pie charts are now included at the top of most reports. *CHART commands to control them.
• New command GENSUMLINES to control which lines are listed in the General Summary.
• The "Distinct hosts" line now appears in the General Summary even if you aren't making a Host, Organisation or Domain Report.
• New commands DESCRIPTIONS and DESCFILE to provide descriptions of each report.
• New commands REPORTSPAN and REPORTSPANTHRESHOLD to list the time period covered by each report.
• New commands ROBOTINCLUDE and ROBOTEXCLUDE for listing robots in the Operating System Report.
• New command INTSEARCHENGINE to allow the internal search reports.
• New command DNSTIMEOUT (on some platforms) to reduce the time taken for failed DNS lookups.
• New LINKINCLUDE and LINKEXCLUDE commands. (See how to upgrade).
• New columns E and e for time of first request; and S, s, Q, q, C and c for data in last 7 days; also corresponding SORTBY and FLOOR commands.
• Substantial internal changes to allow these new columns without using extra memory if they are not wanted, and to substantially reduce code size (from what it would have been otherwise!).
• LaTeX output style.
• All files are now looked for in the "right" directories. This should improve usability substantially, especially from the form interface. (See how to upgrade).
• If you specify a CACHEFILE command but no LOGFILE command, analog won't read the default logfile. (See how to upgrade).
• US English now uses the 12-hour clock by default. (See how to upgrade).
• Computer readable output now reports the busiest time period for the time reports.
• Several commands have changed to better names, but the old names should still work.

In addition, version 4.14 was also released on the same date, and this version includes all its changes.
