• 
•  27 Jul 2002 20:34
• 

• Major feature enhancements

Release Notes: The stripheaders feature was broken by a recent trend to move disclaimers to the end of results. The feature has been rewritten from scratch and now uses a configuration file to better support whatever the registrars throw at it. A few bugfixes were also made.

• 

• Major feature enhancements

Release Notes: This major new release has important improvements for reliabiltiy and security, especially in CGI mode to prevent harvesting and hijacking. A new caching feature is also available to improve performance and prevent overloading downstream whois servers. There are many other new features, but the program will still run as a simple commandline whois if that's all that you need it for.
