ArticleLive NX.0.4 - Bug Fix Release
Hey all,

This release is mostly just bug fixes and a patch for a security issue we found this morning. The release for this version was brought forward due to the security fix needing to be released. Due to this release date change, there are a bunch of features I wanted to get into this release that I haven't been able to include. If time permits, I will get them into another version to be out soon. Here is the changelog:

Trackpoint Update available
Hi all,

Quick update from me. I've been busy working on the latest trackpoint update which should fix all tracking issues people have been seeing. I must say I'm pretty happy with this new version.

We've added a few new features as well which should come in handy:
- Create bulk pay-per-click links - create a csv file and upload it through trackpoint, you'll get everything converted to trackpoint urls.

- More user options - ignore search keywords, certain referrers, your own ip address, domain names and even set which timezone the user is in so times are displayed in local time.

- If you're an admin user, you can "switch" to another user to view their statistics, create tracking and conversion code for them, even create pay-per-click links and campaign links for them.

- We've updated the graphs too, so you can see your revenue, the number of conversions or basic visits.

Phew!

It was meant to be just a bugfix update but we decided to add a few features at the same time.

This also means it has been updated to "TrackPoint NX" in line with our product updates.

Anyway that's it for me, back to coding!

Free support and upgrades period extended
Hi everyone,
We've just extended the free support and upgrades period that comes with each product purchase from 6 months to 12 months. This takes effect immediately and customers who have purchased in the last 6 months have also been extended for an extra 6 months.

In a few days we will be increasing the cost of renewing support slightly to help better cover costs, so if you're planning to upgrade to any of the new 2005/NX product releases, make sure you do it soon.

blog change

Hi all,

I've just made it so posting comments on the blogs requires you to sign up for an account.. We were still getting too much comment spam so without changing the whole tool we can't do much else.

By the way.. if anyone has comments / suggestions / ideas on what you'd like to see in our blogs or in our newsletter please send them through! We're always looking for feedback about what we're doing so help us out!

Until next time (when it'll hopefully be a bit more interesting!)....

fastfind update!

Hey all,

I made a quick update to fastfind today.

We added cURL support to it - so if your server has safe-mode on or allow_url_fopen off - you still may be able to run fastfind.

I don't think cURL is any faster fetching the pages but it's another option we can use..

So it's not really a bugfix, it only applies to new installs.

You can find out more (and there is a lot of info!) about cURL here: http://www.php.net/curl

Apart from adding cURL support, nothing else has changed so nobody really needs to update unless your host suddenly changes options on you.

Any questions please post them!
