New features
Exclude IP addresses by range Added support for excluding hits by urls and referrers. IPv6 Support There is a new 'time since added' column In the referrers view, when viewing by 'newest first'. Now displays search engine icon and search terms in hits table where appropriate. Integrated with WordPress version check mechanism, new version message now appears also in WordPress plugins list. Now properly converts search.walla.co.il referrers to utf-8. It's now possible to control which sites each user is permitted to access (#478). Added support for Norwegian and Russian search engines. Now possible to see visits/page views singe midnight as well as in last 24 hours. Added an option to download the configuration file if it's not writable
Bug fixes
Fixed to convert Cyrillic keywords encoded in windows 1251 to utf-8 (#590). Renamed Services_JSON to fs_Services_JSON to prevent conflict with other instances of this class. Fixed a bug which caused pages to appear in the popular posts widget in WordPress (#605). Fixed splitting of long unicode strings (no longer split in the middle of a multichar utf-8 character) (#575) Fixed a bug that caused FireStats to check for a new version too often. Fixed a bug that caused errors in WordPress admin section if an incorrect FireStats address was entered into the FireStats options page (Satellite mode only) Updated flags package to include Surinam and a few other flags.
Optimizations
Improved startup time by checking for new version asynchrnously. Optimized commit-pending.php to process 600 hits/sec (in my benchmark, may be slower for real life cases) Optimized popular pages query on mysql < 4.1.14
Core changes
Created a generic codepage to utf-8 encoder. It's no longer possible have newly added hits which match an exclude criteria to be saved. To improve performance, Excluded entries are no longer excluded from the display before they have been actually purged, but just marked as excluded. Now store IP addresses as a pair of bigints instead of as a string, this is required to handle ipv6 addresses correctly. Removed site_id from hits table (will use site_id from url)
