Beta notes

Here is a brief overview of the limitations in FlashStats 2005 beta 1.

  1. When you use the calendar to select dates to analyze, the calendar will "hold" the mouse focus a little longer than it should. In particular, once you click anywhere within the calendar, then the next click outside of the calendar may not be recognized. You may need to click a second time for the click to have any effect. This will be fixed in beta 2.

  2. Any file type with a short extension will match a longer extension that starts with the same characters.  For example, if you have defined ".z" as a file of type Download, then all files with an extension starting with ".z", such as ".zip" or ".ztxt", will be matched as Download files.  This should not cause a conflict with any of the standard file type definitions, but will be fixed in beta 2.

  3. Beta 1 only supports W3C log files generated by Microsoft IIS 4 or later, or Common (or Extended) Log Format files (such as those generated by Apache).

  4. Beta 1 only supports one log set (per defined web site).

  5. Beta 1 has limited support for filters and tests.  Filter functionality will be fully implemented in beta 2.

  6. Beta 1 only supports drag & drop of filters.  Beta 2 will support dragging of additional data types such as files and URLs.
