====== 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 [[bootcat:help:search_engine_key|this page]] for more information).
  * **NEW (script)**: the Perl script ''collect_urls_from_yahoo.pl'' has been moved to the ''outdated_scripts'' directory; 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, use ''java -jar UrlCollector.jar -h'' to 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.
