Bugs fixed in version 5.03

• Under Windows, analog crashes if you run it from the DOS command prompt.

Bugs fixed in version 5.02

• Microsoft changed the IIS native log format in IIS 5 on Windows 2000 and analog wouldn't read it.

Bugs fixed in version 5.01

• The "last 7 days" data is wrong in the File Size Report.

Bugs fixed in version 5.0

• Under Unix, logfiles in wildcard names are looked for in the working directory, not the analog directory.
• The pie charts still aren't perfect in the EBCDIC character set: you get "KKK" instead of "..." if the name is too long to fit on one line.

Bugs fixed in version 4.91beta1

• Some people are getting an error message about GLOB_ABORTED when compiling analog.
• The pie charts don't work in the EBCDIC character set.

Bugs fixed in version 4.90beta4

• If you specify date codes in the directory of the OUTFILE, analog ignores the codes when writing the pie charts, so tries to write them to out%Y%M/dom.png or whatever.
• There are some typos in the form interface which stop some reports being turned on and off.
• The program won't compile with the preprocessor directive NOGRAPHICS.

Bugs fixed in version 4.90beta3

• There is a buffer overflow bug in versions 4.90beta1 and 4.90beta2, and all versions up to and including 4.15. You are advised to upgrade immediately.

Bugs fixed in version 4.90beta2

• If you specify a LANGFILE but no DESCFILE, analog will crash on some platforms.
• The pie charts only work well when the character set of the output is ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2.
• Pie charts aren't produced when running analog through the form interface.

Bugs in version 4.16

• The program sometimes crashes with a segmentation fault on Linux on the powerpc architecture. But the bug is in gcc, not analog. (I don't know if this also affects any other architectures.)

Bugs fixed in version 4.16
