While second branch is to become publicly available soon — today we release latest version of first branch (currently main) of Nimi Web Cleanser.
Most noticably node removal approach was changed from queueing to try to remove when detected (or eventually fallback to event call) — which results in theoretically faster node (instead of later lookup) removing and solves issues with nodes enlisted for removal not being found. Further improvements include changes in smart check enhancements — size (some elements are checked by stylesheet size instead of browser calculated) and empty space detection (better collapsing by detection of possibly unused space).
As for still unpublished 2011 development report & 2012 plans — expect it along NWC second branch release.
