Form a symlink from ./parse_track.txt to $REPORT_ROOT/full_site.txt
if the file $INSITE_ROOT/parse_track.txt does not exist.

[[This is a correction to the sourceforge bug report #1204832.]]

Fixed 2 minor bugs relating to the placement of the parse_track.txt
symlink and fixing where the code looks for the full_site.txt file.
Thanks goes to stoerli for discovering and reporting this problem.
[[See sourceforge bug #1204832 for details.]]

Supports the ignoring of local files that are missing via the
$ignore_missing value.

Special action links _self, _blank, _parent, _top are ignored.... read more

Regarding version 2.30

Version 2.20 contained a number of unfortunate bugs that caused InSite
to hang or worse crash. I have been using a modified version of InSite
version of 2.10 for mote than a year now without any serious problems.
Version 2.30 is this modified version of 2.10 that I have been using.

I made an effort to back-port some Version 2.20 configuration parameters
so that Version 2.30 won't choke on them. Users of Version 2.10 and
Version 2.20 should not have major problems in upgrading to Version 2.30.... read more

Jason Priebe (priebe at users.sourceforge.net) does not have the time or
bandwidth to maintain the InSite tool. He was kind enough to give me
(Landon Curt Noll - insite-mail at asthe dot com) the admin status of
this sourceforge project.

I appreciate Jason turning over the project to me. I am grateful for
Jason's work on InSite. Without it there would be no InSite at all.
I plan to honor his GPL. Jason will continue to be listed as
the co-author of version 2.x releases and will be listed as original
concept creator for versions 3 and beyond.

This version allows for better classification of the nebulous 500 errors. It breaks them into "malformed URL", "no DNS", "no HTTP", and "some HTTP". It also can be configured to wait a specified period and then retry all URLs which resulted in server errors, which might cut down on the number of transient server errors that get reported to you.

This release also cleans up a number of bugs. See the changelog for details.

In hopes of getting a bit more exposure for InSite (and maybe building a community of users/developers), I've moved the official home page here to SourceForge. I encourage anybody who uses the product to send me your feedback at priebe@wral-tv.com.
