In late 1991, David Hulse translated FunnelWeb V1 from Ada to C. This C version was designated V2. It was never publicly released.
In early 1992, Ross Williams rewrote and expanded V2, creating FunnelWeb V3.0. This version was publicly released on the Internet on 6 June 1992. Version 3.0 proved very solid. However, the following bugs were eventually encountered:
Tony Coates created a FunnelWeb variant called FunnelWeb V3.05AC (a variant of FunnelWeb V3.0) that provides some additional useful features. As this is an unofficial version, it's features are not guaranteed to appear in future official versions of FunnelWeb.
In October 1993, the following changes were made, yielding V3.1:
These changes essentially just fixed the "10,000 lines" bug and performed some memory tuning. The other bugs in V3.0 remained. The source code for V3.1 was never released. However, some executables were.
In May 1999, Ross Williams revised and enhanced FunnelWeb to produce a new official version: FunnelWeb Version 3.2. The changes made were as follows:
