AWStats 5.5 beta is ready

AWStats 5.5 Beta is ready 
-------------------------- 

I am pleased to announce that AWStats 5.5 beta is ready. 

Version 5.5 is an update that fix minor bugs and add new features. 

This new version is for the moment a beta version. If you look for a
stable version, please use 5.4. 

You can download 5.5 beta from AWStats official web site: 
http://awstats.sourceforge.net 
Beta version is available in tgz package only. 


WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TO UPGRADE: 
------------------------------------------------- 
Note 1: 
Old deprecated values for -lang option (-lang=0, -lang=1...) has been
removed (since 5.4). Use -lang=code_language instead (-lang=en,
-lang=fr, ...). 
Note 2: Old deprecated -month=year option must be replaced by -month=all
when 
used on command line (since 5.4). 
Note 3: The tooltips feature is now stored into the plugin "tooltips"
(since 5.4). So you 
must enable this plugin by adding the line 
LoadPlugin="tooltips" 
into the config file, to have tooltips enabled. 


WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION 
------------------------------------------------- 
Fixes: 
- Summary robots list was limited to MaxNbOfLoginShown instead of being
limited to MaxNbOfRobotShown value. 
- Fixed a bug when using HBL codes in ShowRobotsStats parameter. 
- AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers now works for users
with space in name. 

New features/improvments: 
- Added a 'Screen Size' report. 
- Group OS by families. Added a detailed OS version chart. 
- Better 404 errors management. URLs are always cleaned from their
parameter to build '404 not found' URLs list (because parameters are not
interesting as they can't have effect as page is not found). Referrer
URLs list for '404 not found' URLs are kept with parameters only if
URLReferrerWithQuery is set to 1. This make this report more useful. 
- Added 'geoipfree' plugin (same than 'geoip' plugin but using the free
Perl module Geo::IPfree). 
- 'geoip' plugin can works with compiled Perl module Geo::IP but also
with PurePerl version (Geo::IP::PurePerl). 
- Added 'userinfo' plugin to add information from a text file (like
lastname, office department,...) in authenticated user chart. 
- month parameter can accept format -month=D, not only -month=DD 
- Optimized code size. 
- Optimized HTML output report size. 
- Added plugin ipv6 to fully support IPv6 (included reverse DNS lookup).

- Split month summary chart and days of month chart in two different
charts in main page. This also means that ShowDaysOfMonthStats and
AddDataArrayShowDaysOfMonthStats parameters were added. 
- Added -staticlinksext to build static pages with another extension
than default .html 
- Added QMail support. 

Other/Documentation: 
- Added Isle of Man, Monserat, and Palestinian flag icon. 
- Added "local network host" and "Satellite access host" in label of
possible countries and icons (They appears when using geoip plugins). 
- Better management of parsed lines counting. The last line number is
also stored in history file, for a future use. 
- Removed LogFormat=5 option for ISA log file because I am fed up of
supporting bugged and non standard MS products. Sorry but this takes me
too many times. To use AWStats with an ISA server, just use now a
preprocessor tool to convert into a W3C log file. 
- Added estonian and serban language. 
- Updated documentation and language files.
