[	June 4, 2002	]	Advanced Email Extractor 2.50 has been released

AEE 2.50 has been released at June 4. The main feature of this release is plugins technology. Plugins are small auxiliary programs that help AEE to solve specific tasks and extend its capabilities. E.g. plugins can be used to solve tasks of untypical datasource (LDAP and NNTP-servers) processing, to control AEE surfing by screening unneeded links and/or by supplying URLs for processing, to process found e-mail addresses. Also, the plugins can access web-pages under processing and retrieve specific data. Actually, plugin can fully substitute AEE logic, leaving untouched only the HTML parsing function and visualization of the data found. Plugins are available in professional version of AEE only. Currently, two free plugins are distributed within AEE package. During June we plan to release five additional plugins. Subscribe to our AEE newsletter to be informed! Feel free to contact with us if you have plugins ideas. Also, we can offer the custom plugins development for your specific tasks — write to us and we'll glad to help you! You can learn more about AEE at AEE homepage, and get AEE 2.50 at our downloads page. This update is free for all registered users and may be installed over any previous version.
