Note 0: Perl 5.005_03 or higher is a requirement to use AWStats 6.0 or higher.

  awstats_misc_tracker.js script in your home page as described in
  MiscTrackerUrl parameter description). Otherwise the new default value "a"

  MaxLengthOfShownURL.

  provided.
- Add meta tags robots noindex,nofollow to avoid indexing of stats pages by

  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:
- Updated documentation.

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

  Geo::IP::PurePerl).

  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, serban and icelandic language files.
- Updated documentation.
