Logaholic Web Analytics 2.2 is mostly a maintenance release, and fixes a number of issues that surfaced in version 2.1, our major new release from last month. Ohh, how time flies !

We recommend all users to upgrade to this version. Here’s what has changed:

• Problems fixed when working with certain mysql versions, namely in processing data collected with the javascript tracker and when customizing the new Dashboard screen.
• Unimportant PHP notifications are now suppressed properly, sorry about that 🙂
• Fixed various input checking bugs when creating profiles in Firefox
• Silenced extra output generated when updating IIS / W3C log files
• Fixed a bug that caused the Profiles list to abort
• Fixed a bug regarding the Bytes transferred count in the All Traffic by Month report
• Added a method that provides cross-domain on-the-fly logins to Service Provider Edition users, please read this
• Added example code for integrating Logaholic User and profile creation automatically from other systems, please read this

Dear Logaholics,

We’ve just released Logaholic Web Analytics 2.1 – a major update that you don’t want to miss.

• Improved Cross Browser Functionality (works in IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome etc.)
• New Flash based Funnel graphs
• Improved Summary Report menu navigation
• Improved Filters (Traffic Segmentation)
• Optimized scalability for large screens
• Added ‘speed reading’ functionality when handling large log files
• Improved User and profile management for SPE versions
• By popular demand: Added links to RIPE Whois from Click Trails
• By popular demand: Added full database CSV export option (so you can do Web Analytics in SPSS 🙂
• and more…

Death of the Today Page ?

Lots of Logaholic users have told us they really only look at the “Today Page” most of the time and only occasionally venture into the other reports. They say that everything that is important is on that page anyway…

That is a shame because a lot of effort has gone into all those other reports. If you never check them out, you are missing some informational gems.

On the other hand, I am glad the Today Page has done such a good job at doing what is was designed to do: to give you one powerful, intuitive snapshot overview of your website traffic instantly.

That is why, out of all the screens in Logaholic, the Today Page really hasn’t changed much since it’s first release in December 2005… until now!

Custom Dashboards

The completely revamped Today Page is still the way you like it … but now you can totally customize it and add any Logaholic report to your Today Overview, including Funnels and Test Center results. You can even drag and drop Today Page components to any position you want. This means you can create your own custom dashboard that shows you all the information that is essential to you, on one comprehensive screen.

Future developments

This release contains the ground works of new features and enhancements that we have been working on for a while, like internationalization, extensibility and customization. I know I will disappoint some people when I say that the translations framework did not make it into this release and neither did the plugin API. The good new is, you can expect that in the next release 🙂
