Popularity of catalogues and some others functions were added:

• The VizieR results in HTML format are now printed as sortable tables, with a style which should bring better readability.

• Each catalogue has a VizieR-specific 'popularity' represented as a progress bar in the VizieR pages. This 'popularity' is computed from the relative frequency of queries addressed to a specific catalog, on a log scale. A click on this progress bar displays an histogram of queries over the last 2.5 years.

• New design in "Catalogue Selection Page".

• The 'VizieR search engine' that you may plug in your browser can execute a search by cone -- just by typing a selection of catalogs, and a position preceded by 'c=', e.g. 2MASS,USNO-B c=HD226868 .

• Several bugs were fixed -- thanks to those who forwarded the problems !

• Some defaults were changed:

  -- the target radius is now 2arcmin by default.

  -- all columns are displayed in the "Catalogue Selection Page", (previsouly only the columns of the 'main column set' were shown in this page).

  -- the Unified Column Descriptors (UCDs) which give a classification of the column contents are shown by default.

Don't hesitate to communicate the problems (and wishes) to VizieR Team
