 211  software, to which eventually a number of people contributed patches.
 212  It could already replace banners with a transparent image, and had a first
 213  version of pop-up killing, but it was still very closely based on the
 214  original, with all its limitations, such as the lack of HTTP/1.1 support,
 215  flexible per-site configuration, or content modification. The last release
 216  from this effort was version 2.0.2-10, published in 2000.</P
