==================================================
C4U V0.5.2 [2005-03-18]
==================================================
PHP INTERFACE:
--------------
[#] SOAP Method calls corrected
Type casts were not done in all situations.
This change was needed because of a new XML
parser on the C4U server.
[#] QuickAddBookmark
function has not inserted all needed resource settings
into the database correctly.

With this modification it's easier to follow a new link
that was inserted into a monitored webpage.
CONVERSION MODULES:
-------------------
[+] Lha Support added
[*] Conversion Modules now return a ContentConversionResult
Object instead of a String Array. This allows to add
additional features like a mimeType specific Title
detection, etc.
[+] RSS Converter Module
new RSS Converter Module added. This module was needed
because of RSS title/description extraction.
HARVESTER MODULES:
-------------------
[+] HTTP Module / Detection of Dynamic Content
From now on it's configureable if the http harvester
module should try to detect dynamic content. This is now
configureable because sometimes a webpage doesn't allow
to download the same page twice withing a given timespan.
With this option the detection can now be disabled if needed.
[*] Migration to HttpClient 3.0 RC1
Most interesting changes in HttpClient: ...
33021 - Fixed the bug causing the circular redirect if different query parameters
are used in the redirect location.
Contributed by Ilya Kharmatsky

Support of Inspection mode where only the
visible parts of the homepage will be compared.
[#] Dynamic Element handling changed
Dynamic Elements were not removed correctly from

Additionally there was a problem with attribute
nodes which have no parent node (see spec.
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-637646024)
and therefore could not be removed easily. In
this case C4U simply set's the value of such an
dynamic node to null.

C4U had problems with RSS feeds containing no items. This bug
is fixed now.
NOTIFICATION MODULES:
---------------------

[#] PDFBox usage bugfix
PDF Document object is now closed correctly
[*] Magration to jmimemagic-0.0.4a
to allow a better detection of the mime type
of a downloaded content.
[+] Support for gzip files added
Now the uncompressed content is inspected instead
of the compressed bytestream.
[+] Support for tar files added
Now the directory structure (much like as for zip)
is inspected instead of the bytestream.
[+] Migration of content mime type detection done.
Now a mimeType detection if the mime type was
reported as 'text/plain' by the webserver. This
is needed to detect relatively unknown text based
mime types, e.g. 'text/calendar' files.

Now it's possible to specify a Keyword or Regular
expression that should be used to inspect the entry
content for changes.
Additional Options will follow.
[+] Google Diff / Inspection migrated
Google Harvester now stores the search results as
XML. Therefore the Inspection Module was migrated
to convert these XML structure to HTML for Displaying
at the gui.
The advantage the new XML format is, that the comparison
of the search results is more easy. This is one pre-
requirement for the introduction of Criteria of Change
for a Goolge Search Result Content (Will follow).
[#] Now using the correct Inspection Module for
Content Diff + Archiv Copy View
We only had used the HTMLInspector Module for
all Resources. Now we use the proper ones. This is
needed e.g. to support the proper displaying of a
google resource.
[+] Migration of RSS Support
Using Informa Package now to provide a better
rss support not.
Additionally the Display function for the RSS
was migrated to view a html formated page now
instead of the xml document. The Diff function
was also reimplemented to support html format

java class files (in combination with the new
feature above) with syntax highlighting.
Currently I'm using the package Java2Html for
this.

setting y timespan in the criteria of change
dialog for the iCalendar. If C4U detects
a new event within the next x days, the a

apache lucene package now. This allows to
enter a more complexe query and to query
using various fields (e.g. for google)
without a complex to handle configuration
dialog.

a special inspection based on the UID
and sequence numbers of the calendar
entries now instead of a simple
textbased inspection.
[+] Support for dynamic html content
Now C4U has the possibility to detect dynamic html
elements automatically. This elements can then be
ignored using the proper html-content criteria
of change settings.
Therefore it should now be possible to check pages
containing counters, banners, date/time strings etc.
OTHERS:
---------------------------
[+] Archiv Copy count restricted to 20 copies per entry
To free storage space C4U only keeps a maximum of
20 entry copies for each entry.
TODO: make this configureable in further versions
[+] Resource Content Search Engine added
Now the user has the possibility to search
the content of his/her resource entries for
given keywords.
This feature was implemented using apache
lucene.
[*] Migration of Manager Classes
maintenance work on the manager classes to make
a general usable interface

ContentConverter-Manger is now started as system
component and loads the list of available converstion
modules from database. Therefore this list can

Of couse this functionality could also be done
using the normal soap resource, but it's much
easier to configure this way ;-)
[+] new "email" resource type added
A new resource type was added wich allows to
monitor a pop3 mailbox for changes. Currently
all changes (including new emails / removed
emails) are reported, but this behaviour should
be configureable in later versions using the

This new resource type allows the monitoring of
the output of a remotely executed command or
the monitoring of the content of a remotely

Thanks to Manfred for his help to restructure
the old notification configuration sources so
that I was able to use the same technique for
the resource entry configuration.

login behaviour has changed. If a timeout has
occured and the user does a login then he/she
