- Little better job fixing the new indexing code.
- Put a class=stopwatch div around the stopwatch message and delete the stopwatch code from showing in cached pages.
- Fixed an auth bug involving BOLTinfovars. And fixed BOLTvars and BOLTFinfo to use it properly.
- Fixed a bug in the upload commands that failed to properly check file types.
- Fixed a serious XSS vulnerability.
- Small fix to vspacing involving tables.
- Fixed a bug in the indexing function to better index links using page shortcuts. Also simplified the ! ~ and @ shortcuts to not use following dots. This will affect existing installations...
- No doubt many other small tweaks over the last year I failed to document.

- Fixes to groups and group permissions
- Tweaks to field and script vars
- Fix to action.missing to properly point to action.undo
- Some work on cleanUrls. Not sure actions are working...
- Now set cryptkey in index.php to encrypt passwords.
- Fixed upload command
- Several changes to site pages and structure
- Can now do full filtering of form posts using required, filter=filtername/regex pattern, case=, trim, and other options right in the input markup
- Can now put arg parameters right in commands just like in functions. Note "session" replaced by "command" in markup. Makes it amazingly easier to simplify commands, and no name conflict between posts and commands.
- Added a passform command which passes form fields invisibly between pages.
- Box function now allows type=code,html,markup,comment rule= lines= etc and other parameters. Fully stylable. Rules can be used in comment boxes to limit markups very effectively
- Info Vars can now be split using "field: var1::var2::var3" and retrieved using {page::field::2}. Allows for incredibly fast data crunching and report generation.
- Added a new code.settings page for setting up system wide variables (and code) very easily in your site. Available to skins or site pages.
- If statements are now fully nestable up to 9 levels. :) If parameters can now be put in commands, functions, searches, etc.
- Replaced old help system with a simple help action and several help pages to ease new users into BoltWire.
- Changed the translate markup from >>text<< to ++text++. Removed from default pages.
- Can now set up page libraries in locations outside pages folder. Ideal for shared folders between sites. To use, put something like "$BOLTpageLibraries['bible'] = '../shared/bible/';" in config.php. Writing to these pages is not permitted.
- Manyu other features dropped or added. Much of the internal code has been rewritten and dramatically simplified.
