Large release, lots of bug fixes :)

Known Issues:
#621668: Large Websites & boost_tree_directory() function don't play along - If you have more then 30K nodes this might be a concern.
#621870: Set time limits when dealing with the file system - Yet another issue with a large # of files in the cache dir.

Notes:
If you have encountered the bug in which a logged in user that just logged out gets the logged in page after hitting the logout link, then this 6.x backport core patch for the htaccess file should fix the issue. http://drupal.org/node/550488#comment-1931780
A new check has been added to check that the boost_stats.php file/menu callback is in your robots.txt file. I got a report of that page getting crawled. This should take care of that. Simply add Disallow: /boost_stats.php on a new line inside your robots.txt file.

Bug Fixes:
#610498: Wrong URL is saved in access log
#610398: updating a node doesn't delete the cache file
#614836: Function _boost_set_time_limit undefined during upgrade
#615676: SHOW TABLES LIKE is not PostgreSQL compatible
#345484: 404 hits to /files directory cached as homepage with broken form actions - fixed in 6.x, still open for 5.x
#617826: Assignment instead of comparison in boost_cache_expire_derivative()
#617476: Page cached not flushed on new/updated comments
#617886: ETag Location
#459530: Define Assignment Error - Boost not clearing updated (or any!) pages from cache on cron.
#619934: CRON generates a "Page not Found" error...
#619914: foreach() wants arrays
#620636: On large node counts, boost_has_site_changed() can be very slow
#620648: Return 404 if browser/crawler directly hits boost-stats.php
#621148: "MySQL has gone away" error. Long running recursive rm of Boost flush cache causing MySQL connection to time out.
#621054: PHP Error thrown on E_NOTICE

Fix Regressions:
#610198: Allow flush button to del a file if not in database
#617314: Clear cached CSS and/or JS button
#620808: RTL issue using IE 6: Hidden iframe from Aggressive Gzip causing layout issues.

Feature Requests:
#609310: Optionally disable inserts on boost_cache table
#616404: Remove entries from boost_cache table if node is deleted or unpublished
#611700: Clear all cached pages with menus associated with a node on insert/update/delete
#619080: Status Block - Cleaner Output

Tasks:
#611162: HTML help integration for the advanced help module
#590134: Warn user on status page if running in safe mode.
#612326: Reword crawler error message on status page
#615406: Warn admin on status page if number of Dir's in any subdir of cache is above 31k
#613806: minimum cache expiration time should be called maximum cache expiration time
#617394: Verbose setting of 7 & 9 for debugging

Donate:
Consider the amount of money this module saves, in comparison to a more expensive hosting solution. I (Mike Carper) accept Donations.
