Run update.php!

New Rewrite Rules

They are needed since Boost can (if you enable it) cache xml, css & js files and serve them gzipped if the client supports it.

Statistics Module Almost Fully Supported

Copy boost_stats.php into your root dir. File can be found in boost/stats dir. Uses a 1px transparent gif to pass info to boost_stats.php which then puts the info into the correct database tables via a DB Drupal Bootstrap. Javascript needs to be enabled on the client in order to get referrer. 3rd party add-ons for Drupal's base statistics package are not currently fully supported; they will be added in per request.
