Two new appliance update are now available: texisScripts-18.0.0 and applianceman-18.0.0. The latter is a documentation update for the former.
In brief, texisScripts-18.0.0 provides:
* A new Bias setting for meta search target profiles, allowing results to be biased up or down in relevance-ranked searches based on target profile
* Canonical URL support
* Caveat: URL-exclusion rules now apply to previously-crawled URLs during Refresh; see below
* Security config and other fixes
Details for texisScripts-18.0.0:
* URLs being excluded due to being cleaned (Index Name, Ignore Query Vars, etc) are now logged as errors with high verbosity
* Removed interface for making individual Best Bets in metasearch profiles (which have no effect)
* Fixed Walk Delay not allowing decimal values
* Critical database errors no longer cause the admin interface to become unusable
* Fixed restoring multiple profiles using parametric fields of the same name
* Clarified Invalid URL: spaces translated ... error, and try to show ref
* Fixed categories added from List/Edit URLs not being visible by default
* Fixed HTML tags showing in messages when creating categories from the List/Edit URLs page
* Fixed GroupBy not properly estimating counts with a large number of results
* Multiple data dirs (if mounted, on custom installations) now supported when creating profiles: one with most space free used
* New System Wide Settings setting Honor Cipher Order added (where supported): tells appliance HTTPS server to maintain HTTPS/SSL Ciphers order rather than negotiate with client
* New Meta search setting Bias added, allowing search results ranking to be weighted based on target profile
* robots.txt rules are now always retained. If a rule excludes a Base URL, a warning is issued, but the rule and the Base URL are both retained. (Previously, such rules were tossed.)
* URL-rejection rules are now always enforced against crawled URLs (except Base URLs). (Previously, already-crawled URLs during a Refresh were not checked.) Thus, some Refresh crawls might now start to exclude or remove (non-Base) URLs that were previously indexed.
* Make Pages linking to/from URL now clickable in List/Edit URLs
* An AJAX-crawlable-URLs compatible URL with <meta name="fragment" content="!"> could cause later pages' relative links to appear to be relative to it, causing erroneous links and not-found errors
* Canonical URLs now supported (<link rel="canonical" href="...">)
* Reduced default Maximum Refresh Time to 1 week, default Default Refresh Time to 1 minute to force content to update in a more timely manner
These updates are available via the System -> System Setup -> Update Software menu item.
