Appliance update: texisScripts/applianceman 16.0.0, texis 7.05.145...

Post by Kai »

Several appliance updates have just been released: texisScripts 16.0.0, applianceman 16.0.0, and texis 7.05.145... These updates contain several new features:

* Central Authentication Service (CAS) form-based logins are now supported directly: just fill out Login Info with user and password; no need for custom Primer URLs.

* Improved XML file support: XSL stylesheets are now applied to crawled XML files, for improved search text recognition.

* Proxy Auto-config (PAC) files: With the Proxy Auto-Config URL setting, crawls can automatically set proxy configuration, the same way as browsers can. This is akin to Windows' `Use automatic configuration script' LAN setting under Control Panel -> Internet Options.

* Sitemaps are automatically detected via the robots.txt `Sitemap:' directive and crawled, improving the detection of hard- or impossible-to-reach links on some sites. XML sitemaps discovered during crawls also have their links processed.

* The Google AJAX crawlable URLs scheme is now supported: this maps `#key=value' fragments to `?key-value' query strings, which aids in crawling AJAX sites that support it.

* The Negotiate authentication scheme's Kerberos option is available for crawls, to enable crawling of sites that require it for authentication.

Some additional fixes are also included:

* Improved PowerPoint and Outlook support: some document text or attachments were sometimes missed

* Some `Internal error: No forward progress decoding ...' messages have been fixed for crawls

* Data from Field, SOAP, Parametric Search and ACLs get several minor fixes

* ACLs have been expanded to include more profile Tools: Test Fetch, Dashboard, Replication Tools etc.

* More Test Fetch information: Test Fetch now show intermediate URLs, and trace settings are settable directly on the form without having to go back to All Walk Settings

These updates are available via the System -> System Setup -> Update Software menu option.
