What is new in version 4.1.3:

  • Security fix: badly crafted comments could lead to insertion of "weird" links into comments. They'd have to pass your moderation, but still... Immediate update advised.

What is new in version 4.0.13:

  • Fixed:
  • Properly track the post type when you're on a post type archive page.
  • Remove single quotes from item names for Shop and WP E-commerce to prevent tracking issues.
  • Only load the admin class when you're actually in admin and not doing AJAX.
  • Prevent notices on post types that do not have categories or tags.

What is new in version 4.0.9:

  • Code enhancements:
  • Updated Shopp integration to also work with the upcoming Shopp 1.1 and higher.
  • Switched from split to explode, as split has been deprecated in PHP 5.3+.
  • New features:
  • A new debug mode has been added, using the new ga_debug.js. Along with this you can now enable Firebug Lite, so you can easily see the output from the debug script in each browser. Admins only, of course.

What is new in version 4.0.5:

  • Bugs fixed:
  • Fixed implementation of _anonymizeIp, it now correctly anonymizes IP's by setting _gat._anonymizeIp.
  • Increased request timeout time for Google Analytics authentication from 10 to 20 seconds, for slow hosts (if this fixes it for you, your hosting is probably not really good, consider another WordPress host).
  • Documentation fixes:
  • Added a note about profiles with the same UA code to the Analytics Profile selection.
  • The profile selection dropdown now shows the UA code after the profile name too.
  • Updated the screenshots and the FAQ for this plugin.

What is new in version 4.0.4:

  • Fix for stupid boolean mistake in 4.0.3.
