What’s new in version 1.5.7?
December 3, 2001
  • This is a maintinace release of the 1.x version of Summary for people who have not upgraded to Summary 2.
  • Updated the known robots and platform detection to match Summary 2.0.7.
  • Assorted, very minor, bug fixes.
What’s new in version 1.5.6?
April 10, 2001
  • The Macintosh version is now carbonized, providing full native supports for MacOS X, as well as still working on older system versions (8.1 or newer).
  • Switched the Linux version to glibc 2, which fixes a DNS lookup problem on some new distributions, but breaks on RedHat 4.x, or older, systems.
  • Added support for the proposed new top level domains.
  • Fixed Windows 2000 platform detection in the Platform Report.
  • The server name wasn’t always displaying correctly on Search Logs results pages.
  • Added additional headers to help force the config pages to never be cached.
  • Referring Domains were showing different percentages in the Summary than in the report.
  • Added detection of Netscape 6 and Mozilla 6 in the Browser Report.
  • Search Logs and Modem Proxy links were appearing in the static HTML Summary Report, fixed.
  • Various minor updates were made to the manual.
  • DNS lookups are now limited to 30 seconds on the Linux and Sun versions.
What’s new in version 1.5.5a?
January 11, 2001
  • The Windows version was failing to install. The copy on the server has been repaired.
What’s new in version 1.5.5?
January 9, 2001
  • FTP downloads were often timing out when accessing fast FTP servers over a local network, fixed.
  • FTP downloads were failing on some FTP servers with unusual, but valid, multi-line responses.
  • Added detection of Windows ME in the Platform Report.
  • There were some invalid links to dynamic reports in the static HTML Summary Report.
  • Summary now lowercases domain names and domain name patterns from the configuration before using them. Domain names from log files were already being lowercased, so upper case domain names were failing to match.
  • Summary now lowercases request patterns from the configuration when ‘Lowercase request names’ is enabled.
  • Incompatible database files, presumably from old versions of Summary, are now correctly detected and ignored.
  • The maximum database size has been increased about 25%.
What’s new in version 1.5.4?
December 12, 2000
  • In Summary Pro, you can now customize the ‘main’ page to redirect to the Report Menu, redirect to the Summary Report, or to say anything you want.
  • You can now configure which day is the first day of the week.
  • Now displays sub-report lists with the sub-report name first, followed by the sub-report number.
  • ‘Allow all access to sub-report list’ wasn’t working if there weren’t any report name/passwords but there was a configuration name/password!
  • Changed ‘Report Summary’ to ‘Summary Report’ on the main page to match the actual reports title.
  • Now splits columns in the calculated and from/to subheadings on the Summary Report the way version 1.4 did. This improves the appearance in some cases.
  • Custom report links, in the Summary Report, were split onto two lines to allow the report to format more naturally in narrow windows.
  • Some static HTML reports were missing pages or skipped pages after page one, fixed.
What’s new in version 1.5.3?
October 23, 2000
  • Fixed a crash that happened when getting a report while logs were downloading.
  • Downloading ‘ftp://x.y.z’, without a trailing ‘/’, now works in the Pro version as if it were ‘ftp://x.y.z/*’.
  • FTP download connections to remote servers were not being closed, although they would time out eventually. This could result in connection count exceeded errors on the remote server.
  • Name/passwords weren’t automatically selecting the correct sub-report, you always got the sub-report list even if it was supposed to be protected by the configuration name/password.
  • Better error message for remote FTP server doesn’t support the MDTM command. The message now clearly indicates that this is not a serious problem.
  • Goal % of Hits was formatted slightly incorrectly, sometimes showed X.10% when X.9% was correct.

What’s new in version 1.5.1?
August 29, 2000

  • Removed some extraneous gray bars that appeared in the Summary Report when many reports were disabled.
What’s new in version 1.5?
August 22, 2000
  • Visits are now determined by both IP address and agent string. This allows more accurate visit counting for visitors coming through proxy servers. Different visitors, visiting at the same time, through the same proxy server can now usually be distinguished by agent string.
  • There are dramatic speedups for configurations with a large number of sub-reports.
  • DNS lookups now happen after processing, instead of before. Reports can be viewed as soon as crunching is complete, without waiting for DNS lookups to complete. Because of this, DNS lookups now default to on. The old default was off.
  • There is now a new, fancy, when to process logs configuration setting. Logs can be processed at a specific time of day, twice a day, weekly, or monthly.
  • New Overview of Sub-Reports report. This shows totals for each sub-report.
  • Summary Pro now allows log downloading from multiple servers and directories.

  • There is a new configuration option to allow access to the sub-report list with a report name/password instead of requiring the configuration name/password.
  • You can now configure the IP address for Summary to serve reports on. The default remains all IP addresses on the machine.
  • The Gaps in Service report now shows the name of the log file where the gap was detected.
  • The Host Report now allows a most recent visit date column. This enables a new report, Recent Visits, which show host sorted by how recently their most recent visit started.
  • First Hit, Last Hit, and Latest Visit columns can now be displayed as either just date or as date and time.
  • The DNS cache file is now written as a text file. It is no longer possible for a crash to corrupt the DNS cache file. The DNS cache file is now interchangeable with recent versions of Analog and DNSTran. This does take more disk space, but also eliminates a common crash caused by a corrupt DNS cache file.
  • You can now filter which CGI arguments appear in the CGI Arguments report. This allows the report to be used in some situations where it used to take too much memory.
  • It is now possible to configure the directory depth to display in the Directory reports. You are no longer limited to only showing the first level.
  • The translation of requests from ‘/x’ to ‘/x/’, if ‘/x/’ occurs, is now optional and defaults to off.
  • Added automatic support for O’Reilly and Associates, Inc. WebSite Pro log format.
  • Added the folder name to the log file name in the Log Detail report.
  • You can now set a ‘Start processing on’ date instead of using ‘Number of days to include’, if you want.
  • Summary now reads, and ignores, common error log formats. This cleans up the parse errors column of the Log Detail report a bit. Error logs don’t contain anything Summary could use that isn’t also in the access logs.
  • Fixed a bug where the Unix command line ‘-process’ option wasn’t downloading logs.
  • There is a now, optional, column showing the line number within the report.

  • Fixed a bug where a long line in FTP type 250 status responses was causing download failures.
  • Added Sega Dreamcast platform and Opera 3.6 browser detection.

February 9, 1999
    Summary 1.2b2 for Macintosh - This is a beta, as with any Beta release, it has not been fully tested. Please use with caution. A collection of small bug fixes since the last release. Sub-reports are saved to separate folders when written as static HTML files. Changed internal server to disconnect connection instead of using orderly disconnect. Several other small changes to the HTTP server code. Updated the configuration and reports documentation. Fixed FTP code to download directory listing correctly. Speed up mini-graph display in browser. ‘Time between Visits’ in the summary was just wrong. Log Downloading is now available in the non-Pro version. Summary should now survive a modem hangup and should force a redial.
January 11, 1999
    Summary 1.2b1 for Macintosh - This is a preliminary beta, as with any Beta release, it has not been fully tested. Please use with caution. There are several new features in Summary 1.2. Incremental downloading of log files with FTP or HTTP. Sub-folders are now allowed in the logs folder and set the server name to the folder name if there isn’t already a server name. New ‘Ads’ report, which reports on a configurable sub-set of all requests (typically Ad banners). The new ‘Hits Over Time’ report column shows a small graph of hits for up to the last 30 days for each item in any of several reports, more detail below. Added an option, per sub-report, to remove the first directory name from each request. Increased the default number of hours, hourly information is kept for, to two weeks. Summary now uses slightly more memory than it used to, to keep track of the new data. There are now nearly 80 different reports!

     The new ‘Hits Over Time’ report column is available in the Browsers, Platforms, Requests, Referrers, Referring Domains, Web Robots, and Virtual Servers data types. New reports that use the new column include Pages Over Time, Refers Over Time, and Peak Daily Visits. It now appears by default in the Browser Report, Platform Report, Web Robots, Directory Report, Pages Over Time, Virtual Servers, Referring Domains, and Referrers Over Time reports. The Directory Detail report has been added to preserve some of the information removed from the Directory report to make room.

     Several bugs have been fixed: Log detail now splits into pages of 100 entries each, to prevent a crash with hundreds of log files. Fixed TIME-12 format (used in FileMaker Pro logs) to work at 12 PM (noon). Fixed the CS(HOST) field in ExLF log format.

     External referrers are now only counted if they occur in a log entry that starts a visit. This works around a browser frame bug and an AOL proxy bug both of which cause referrers to appear and be counted extra times. For some people this will result in significant reductions in the referrer counts. While the new numbers will be lower than before, they should much more accurately reflect the actual number of refers.

     None of these changes are reflected in the documentation.
December 7, 1998
    Summary 1.1.4 for Macintosh - The ‘don’t process logs on startup’ option works again, it was broken in 1.1.3. Selected Referrers now always shows all entries. Fixed a crash after running for days with DNS lookups turned on. All Summary Reports were using the preferred domain name of the first sub-report.

Hits per day in the monthly report is now based on the correct number of days in each month. W3C ExLF logs without a date on each line now work correctly. Reports are not disabled when using configuration password, but the summary report is still abbreviated. Now reads more log files with dates seriously out of order. New configuration option ‘Log file dates may overlap’ for forcing a complete scan of all log files for the actual last date instead of assuming that they can be sequentially ordered. Fixed a hard crash when deleting a sub-report right after auto configuration or in other cases where very little configuration has happened but there are many sub-reports. Now supports newer variants of Microsoft IIS format.
October 26, 1998
    Summary 1.1.3b2 for Sun - This is the first release of Summary for the Sun platform. As such it can be expected to have problems.

August 3, 1998
    Summary 1.1b6 - Made there be a main page for each sub-report. Added Graphics Hits to Content Summary. Used to be combined with ‘Others’.

It is now possible to quit Summary during DNS lookups and the DNS cache will be saved. Manual is complete. Fixed a crash when selecting date sort for the Gaps in Service report. A report name and password without a configuration name and password was ignored, it is now required for all pages in this situation.
