admin, June 24, 2014 We’re happy to announce the release of Logaholic 4.2. This version fixes some bugs, adds some new features and contains quite a few improvements and optimizations.
[alert color=”green”]The minimum system requirements for Logaholic have changed, the minimum required PHP version is now 5.3.0[/alert]
One optimization in this version is the use of zipped datafiles. We found that with very large systems (with tens of thousands of website profiles) the large number of relatively small datafiles can make the filesystem inefficient. So now lot of these files are stored together in a number of zip archives and accessed on the fly. This makes it much faster if the data folder needs to be copied. We’ve also changed the format of our data files to json as it is more portable and more secure. There are also some small changes to the database schema.
This means that when you upgrade to this version, the profiles in the system will also perform some upgrade tasks. This happens automatically, the first time they are used.
New Features
- Added a profile switcher feature, allowing for combined dashboards with data from multiple profiles.
