SeventhSense, the ultimate website scanner has been updated with new features like HTTP proxy support, configurable numbers of threads and more. Many bugs have been fixed. Download from MorphZone. From the change log:

- BUGFIX: Fixed keyboard handling of GUI (missing MUIA_CycleChain here and there). Bug reported by Christian Rosentreter.

- BUGFIX: Version string was a bit malformed. Bug reported by Christian Rosentreter.

- FEATURE: Sites list autobackup. When the default sites list is saved, an old one is renamed to "sites.bak" first (old "sites.bak" is deleted). Feature suggested by Christian Rosentreter.

- BUGFIX: When a list is loaded into program, entries are checked for duplicated IDs. If duplicate ID is detected, user can skip duplicate or change ID. Bug reported by Grzegorz Murdzek.

- BUGFIX: When iconified SeventhSense displays now its own icon instead of default one.

- FEATURE: "Delete" function moved from toolbar to context menu.

- FEATURE: Checking can be stopped for every site separately with "Stop" option in the context menu.

- FEATURE: All check processes can be stopped at once with "Stop all" button.

- BUGFIX: SeventhSense could try to load a site in an endless loop in case of 40x HTTP response (but other than 404).

- FEATURE: User configurable number of simultaneously checked webpages.

- FEATURE: WWW proxy support.

- FEATURE: Option to automatically open an updated website in a browser. Feature suggested by Grzegorz Murdzek.

- BUGFIX: If there is no year in the date pattern, current year is assumed. Bug reported by Grzegorz Murdzek.

[MorphOS] SeventhSense updated : Comment 8 of 15ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 4 (Marcus Sundman):
Since SeventhSense (SS) is the "ultimate website scanner" it should be able to do at least what other "normal" website update checking programs can, right?

Right. What other "normal" website update checking programs do you mean? GuardAmy? Of course I mean programs running under MorphOS.

So, can SS display the difference between two versions of a web page?

Not yet.

Can SS store the changes locally so that the user can retrieve a set of pages from a particular point in time?

Yes. All downloaded pages are stored as disk files.

Can you specify exact patterns of what changes to look for and what changes to ignore?

SeventhSense is date-based. It scans webpage HTML code for dates. And of course date patterns are defined by user.

Can SS track changes recursively (tracking new pages as they appear)?

New pages as they appear where? SeventhSense is not designed to be a search robot like ones used by Google. It requires very high connection bandwidth to actively search the whole Internet.

Thank you for your ideas. They will be used to improve SeventhSense, and remember it is still beta (0.x).
