Count WWWebula CGI 1.5
Count WWWebula Plugin 1.5

Count WWWebula is a code fragment plugin for use with MacOS web servers that
support WSAPI plugins. Right now, that means either WebStar, Quid Pro Quo,
AppleShare IP, WebTEN, or Microsoft's Personal Web Server. A CGI version is
also available. (READ: THIS IS *NOT* FOR UNIX MACHINES, NOR WILL IT RUN ON
ANY UNIX INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS' WEB SERVERS)

Count WWWebula is a graphical access counter. It will display the number of
"hits" your web page has received in the form of a gif image.

Count WWWebula was created using Metrowerks C++ with Grant's CGI Framework.

Count WWWebula is shareware. For the plugin version, everyone must send me
$30 dollars c/o Kagi Software per server running the counter. For the CGI
version, it's $25, but individuals, educational institutions, and non-profit
organizations get a break and don't have to pay. For more payment
information please see the license agreement, the included Register
application, and the web site.

Please read the following for important changes in functionality!!!

------------------------
Changes in 1.5:

* Disk access should be greatly reduced. As a result, general speed of the
counter is faster.

* In all circumstances, an error log will be generated and put into the
Counter Data Files folder. In addition, it will no longer log startup
messages. It will only write out information during an error condition.

* Several situations where crashes can occur have been eliminated. Some
exceptions were being thrown and not caught in some cases.

* Previously, during a database flush from the counter, the server would
hang for several seconds depending on the number of .dat files in your
Counter Data Files folder. This issue has been dealt with on several
levels.

* [PLUGIN ONLY] A problem was fixed in which using the remote
administrator utility with more than a handful of referral and ignore items
in the preference lists would cause the server to crash.

* The counter will now cache the images in the "digitdir" folder. If your
counters use this font, they will see a large increase in speed, since the
server won't have to load the images out of this directory every time it's
accessed. Other custom fonts will still be loaded real-time, so users of
these fonts won't see such an increase in speed.

* The server now only updates the .dat files that need to be updated
periodically. Previously, every two minutes, the server would rewrite all
the .dat files if any counter was accessed. Now only the .dat file that is
accessed will be rewritten. This will make for greatly reduced lag times on
large servers with many .dat files.

* There seems to be a problem when running the counter plugin under Quid
Pro Quo (and Plus). A memory leak is causing some machines to crash under
heavy load. After doing some testing, it appears that the fault is on QPQ.
WebStar, WebTen, and others don't seem to show this problem.
