The ht://Dig group is very happy to announce the release of ht://Dig version 3.2.0b6. It fixes several bugs from 3.2.0b5, and runs somewhat faster, although still much slower than 3.1.6 (no significant speed improvements are expected in the near future, although we are working on it).

The ht://Dig system is a complete indexing and searching system for a domain or intranet. After being asked "Is ht://Dig dead?" once too often, the ht://Dig group is very happy to announce the release of ht://Dig version 3.2.0b5. This fourth beta release of 3.2 (yes, 3.2.0b4 was cancelled) should fix all bugs in previous 3.2 releases and indtroduces a few new features. As a beta release, it has not received exhaustive testing. However, we believe it to be almost stable enough for production use, and hope that you consider giving it a try to provide feedback.... read more

The ht://Dig group is quite happy to announce, at long last, the release of version 3.1.6. This new production version fixes a number of important bugs and adds a few heavily-requested features. As the latest stable release, it is recommended for all production servers. For more details, check the Release Notes at http://www.htdig.org/RELEASE.html or download 3.1.6 from http://www.htdig.org/where.html or http://www.htdig.org/mirrors.html

SourceForge has stopped hosting project ftp services. So the main FTP repository, ftp.htdig.org is no longer.

Files available from FTP have also always been available from http://www.htdig.org/files/

The current released versions are vulnerable to a security hole in the htsearch CGI program. Pre-release snapshots of 3.2.0b4 and 3.1.6 are available from the development snapshots directory that fix the problem: http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/

More details on the vulnerability can be found at: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3410

The ht://Dig group is quite happy to announce, at long last, the release of ht://Dig version 3.2.0b3. This third beta release of 3.2 offers several long-awaited features and should fix all bugs in previous 3.2 releases. As a beta release, it still has only received limited testing. However, as the final release of 3.2.0 nears, we hope that you consider giving it a try to provide feedback.

Reports of bugs and performance problems are quite welcome. Please try to provide as much information as possible regarding OS, configuration, hardware used, etc. Feedback should be sent to the htdig-dev mailing list at htdig-dev@lists.sourceforge.net... read more

For those mirroring the ht://Dig website, it is suggested to re-read the mirroring instructions and update the mirror as specified in http://www.htdig.org/howto-mirror.html

A new beta release of the 3.2 codebase has been released, htdig-3.2.0b2. This release is intended for testing purposes and to get feedback as to performance, features, and of course bugs.
