  has been fixed.

  SkipDNSLookupFor, ...)
- StyleSheet parameter works completely now and sample of CSS files are
  provided.
- Add meta tags robots noindex,nofollow to avoid indexing of stats pages by
  compliant robots.
- Added a "Miscellanous chart" to report ratio of Browsers that support:
  Java, Flash, Real reader, Quicktime reader, WMA reader, PDF reader.

  "robots.txt" and "favicon.ico" entries off your SkipFiles parameter in your
  config file to have this feature working.
- Update process now try a direct access at last updated record when a new
  update is ran. If it fails (file changed or wrong checksum of record), then
  it does a scan from the beginning of file until a new date has been
  reached (This was the only way of working on older version). So now update
  process is very much faster for those who don't purge/rotate their log
  file between two update process (direct access is faster than full scan).
- Better look for report pages on Netscape/Mozilla browsers.

Other/Documentation:

  not found' URLs are kept with parameters only if URLReferrerWithQuery is set
  to 1. This make this report more useful.

  supporting bugged and non standard MS products. Sorry but this takes me too
