		+
		+	== Requirements ==
		+
		+	* Internet Explorer 6 is no longer supported. IE 7 or higher, or any other modern browser (Firefox 3+, Safari 3+, Chrome 3+, Opera 8+) is now required.
		+	* PHP 5.1 or higher is now required (PHP 4 is no longer supported).

	== Improvements ==		== Improvements ==

		+	* New icons throughout the UI.
		+	* A new Export to Word feature now creates a report for Word with a simplified layout (previously, SiteRay 3 created a high fidelity Word document that was prohibitively slow to edit on many computers).
		+	* Revised permission system, now allows you to share with one or more email addresses by simply entering them. If the email address is new, a user account is created for them, otherwise the report is attached to their existing user account. In all cases, email notifications are sent to the users, containing a one-click link which they can use to login and view the report. For security reasons, you can disable the "login via link" feature under System Configuration.
		+	* You can now view recommendations for specific roles: Marketers, Management and Developers, or all recommendations as before.
		+	* Configuration screens all greatly simplified, redesigned and broken up into more intelligible sections.
	* Creating a duplicate of a website now appends a numeric suffix to it, e.g. "www.example.com (2)"		* Creating a duplicate of a website now appends a numeric suffix to it, e.g. "www.example.com (2)"
	* SiteRay now estimates the size of any website you attempt to test, and displays this information along with other key settings (e.g. keywords, Twitter accounts) for a website when you view it, or attempt to test it. Estimates are based on the domain(s) used, parts of the site being tested and most recent spider results, including unfinished spider attempts.		* SiteRay now estimates the size of any website you attempt to test, and displays this information along with other key settings (e.g. keywords, Twitter accounts) for a website when you view it, or attempt to test it.

	* At the start of a report run, a Test Server will purge various caches pre-emptively to improve performance and reduce overall disk space usage.		* At the start of a report run, a Test Server will purge various caches pre-emptively to improve performance and reduce overall disk space usage.
		+	* The website list view now includes the creation date of the website as a sortable column.

	== Fixes ==		== Fixes ==

		+	* Fixed issue where some scores wouldn't print well without special browser settings.
		+	* Fixed bug where W3C Compliance weighting wasn't always correctly calculated when manually overridden.
		+	* Fixed bug where clicking on certain links on the right-hand side of a comparison report could change the original site being compared to the second site being compared.
	* Fixed issue where the [[Content keywords test]] could assume some common dictionary words were stop words (e.g. "house"), causing keywords that began or ended with these words to not be detected.		* Fixed issue where the [[Content keywords test]] could assume some common dictionary words were stop words (e.g. "house"), causing keywords that began or ended with these words to not be detected.
	* Fixed issue where running a test limited to a small number of pages (e.g. 10) could cause the [[Amount of content test]] to score more strictly than appropriate. Under these circumstances the test now reports an informational score only.		* Fixed issue where running a test limited to a small number of pages (e.g. 10) could cause the [[Amount of content test]] to score more strictly than appropriate.

	== Other changes ==		== Other changes ==

		+	* If you logout of one tab, you are logged out of all other tabs automatically without an alert being displayed (previously, an alert was shown).
		+	* The [[Search engine results test]] now penalises combined errors very slightly less.
		+	* A progress meter is no longer shown between some common page actions (generally, where this would be more distracting as the event would complete near instantaneously).
		+	* Javascript spidering is now disabled by default, except for installs with advanced spidering support (i.e. SiteRay not SiteBeam).
		+	* The "Automatically fix common spider problems?" option is now always set, and therefore no longer displayed.
		+	* There is no longer a need to select individual languages for a website. You can manually specify a website as containing significant non-English text, which disables certain tests explicitly if SiteRay doesn't guess this automatically.
		+	* The spider now uses a maximum of 4 concurrent processes per website by default (previously 5).
	* The [[Broken links test]] now penalises sites with no broken links, but with many possibly broken links less harshly.		* The [[Broken links test]] now penalises sites with no broken links, but with many possibly broken links less harshly.
	* The [[Popularity test]] now awards 75% of the rank of a site to a portion of a size when estimating it's popularity (previously 50%).		* The [[Popularity test]] now awards 75% of the rank of a site to a portion of a size when estimating it's popularity (previously 50%).
