• Time Splits – New feature applies to Professional product. Utilizes the Site Archiver feature to allow the user to view two separate versions of the website in the Navigation Report browser simultaneously with corresponding statistics applied to each version. Different versions are based on changes in the site over time, with the older version coming from an archived version of the website.

• Internal Search Report – New feature available to all versions. A part of the Site Overview, this report displays all the requests for a given parameter or cookie in order of frequency. The default name is “Internal Search Report” because a common use will be to measure the number of searches on an internal search form, but the report can be given any name and track any parameter or cookie.

So, instead of getting blank entries in the campaign description you now are more likely to get something meaningful.
  
• There's also a feature to populate campaign listings with a parameter value from the URL itself. For example, if you were putting kw=concrete+carrots into your landing pages (the value of kw is expanded, not a macro in this case) you can specify kw for your description field and the contents are pulled into the list.
