Version 0.16 (2011-08-05)
In July 2011 Yahoo terminated the web service BootCaT used to search the web; after a few days of blackout, BootCaT is working again thanks to Bing, a search engine that still provides free access to its search API.
- NEW (feature): since BootCaT now uses Bing, an AppId is required to make the program work (see this page for more information).
- NEW (script): the Perl script
collect_urls_from_yahoo.plhas been moved to theoutdated_scriptsdirectory; a new Java command-line program is now used to collect URLs from a search engine,UrlCollector.jar; the new program provides almost all the functionalities of the old script and adds a couple of new ones, usejava -jar UrlCollector.jar -hto read the documentation - NEW (limitation): the new Bing API limits the maximum results to 50 per query (i.e. tuple), there's nothing we can do about it.
