Scalability and speed were improved. The browsing
capabilities were extended. Trackbacks and
pingbacks are shown on the "last comments" page.
The Wacko markup plugin and the WikiLinks? plugin
were added. Referer spam is detected early and
triggers a 403 error. Public statistics were
removed in order to avoid attracting spam. Trying
to access public statistics now triggers a 410
error. The entire comment text is now searched for
blacklisted keywords. HTML entities may now be
used in blacklisted keywords. URL input into
feedback was restricted to defeat comment spam.
rel="nofollow" is now used for feedback author
URLs. The antispam blacklist is not displayed by
default.
