Dear analog users,

Today is analog's 10th birthday! On 29th June 1995, I wrote a message to the 
comp.sources.testers newsgroup asking for people to test a new logfile 
analyser I had started writing:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.sources.testers/msg/a449885a6c236789

I must have been a bit impatient, because by the following day I had already 
announced it to some WWW newsgroups:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.infosystems.www.announce/msg/17103d1bce311c92

The source code at that time was already 2339 lines long. Now it's 25265 
lines of my own, plus 32165 lines of third-party libraries. You can see the 
original source code and README at

http://www.analog.cx/10/src/

It's interesting to compare the output then and the output now. 
Paradoxically, it's interesting to see both how much it has changed,
and how much it has retained the same basic look:

* Licence change
* Plans for version 6
* Mailing lists moved

Dear analog users,

This is to let you know that I have released a new version of analog,
5.92beta1. In this version, I have changed the licence. The program is
no longer under my own licence, but under the GNU General Public License
(GPL).

I have made a big effort to contact everyone who has ever contributed
material to analog, to ask permission for this licence change. But there
are a few people for whom I don't have an up-to-date email address, and
there may be some whose contributions I have forgotten. If you have
contributed to analog and you haven't received an email from me about this
change, then I do apologise. If you don't agree to your contribution being
under the GPL, then please contact me as soon as possible, and we can sort
it out.

Analog version 5.90beta1 released

Dear analog users,

Just a short mail to let you know that I released version 5.90beta1 of
analog yesterday. This is the first beta test for version 6. You can
download the new version from
  http://www.analog.cx/download.html
The main change in this version is that the output is much prettier.

In detail: The output functions have been completely rewritten, to allow new
output styles to be added; there are two new output styles as a result, 
XHTML and XML; and the default style is now XHTML, instead of HTML.

XHTML produces much prettier output than the old HTML style, which is still
producing HTML 2.0. See
  http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/webstats/stats.html
for a sample. It's also designed so that you can change almost any aspect of
the formatting using style sheets. By the way, I'm hoping to publish some
sample style sheets, so all you design gurus out there, send me your ideas!

One last thing: geotargeting. I got a very thin response to this in my last
message < http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.announce/1 >. Does
anyone else have an opinion? Or can I conclude people aren't interested in
this feature?

Dear analog users,

Welcome to the list, if you've joined since the last mail. I've just
discovered that it's nearly nine months since I last wrote to you all,
so it's long past time that I updated you on what's going on with
analog.

In this mail:
-------------
1. Version 5.3
2. Next version
3. Geotargeting -- your opinions wanted!
4. News in brief
5. Donations news

1. Version 5.3
--------------
After a bit of a break from new versions, I released version 5.30 at the
end of November, and 5.31 at the beginning of January.

These versions contain some commonly-requested features. For example,
analog now reads gzipped logfiles natively, without the need for an
external program. Also host inclusions and exclusions can now use IP
