ChangeLog

Changes to GoAccess 0.9.6 - Tuesday, October 27, 2015

  - Fixed segfault when appending data to a log (follow) without virtualhosts.
  - Added command line option `--dcf` to view the default config file path.
  - Added 'Darwin' to the list of OSs.
  - Added the ability to ignore parsing status codes using `--ignore-status`.

Changes to GoAccess 0.9.5 - Thursday, October 22, 2015

  - Added major performance improvements to the default storage when parsing and
    storing data (~%44 less memory, ~37% faster).
  - Added the ability to parse virtual hosts and a new panel to display metrics
    per virtual host.
  - Added the ability to parse HTTP/2 requests.
  - Added the ability to use GNU getline() to parse full line requests.
  - Added the ability to output debug info if a log file is specified, even
    without `--enable-debug`.
  - Added OS X 'El Capitan'.
  - Added WebDav HTTP methods and HTTP status from RFC 2518 and  RFC 3253.

    data.
  - Fixed linker error on OSX: ld: library not found for -lrt.
  - Fixed percentage on the HTML output when excluding IPs.
  - Removed GLib dependency and refactored storage functionality. By removing
    this dependency, GoAccess is able to store data in a more efficient manner,
    for instance, it avoids storing integer data as void* (generic typing), thus
    greatly improving memory consumption for integers.

    --geoip-database.
  - Added the ability to ignore parsing and displaying given panel(s).
  - Added the ability to ignore referer sites from being counted. A good case
    scenario is to ignore own domains. i.e., owndomain.tld. This also allows
    ignoring hosts using wildcards. For instance, *.mydomain.tld or www.mydomain.*
    or www?.mydomain.tld
  - Added time/hour distribution module. e.g., 00-23.
  - Added 'visitors' metrics to all panels.

    number of invalid hits was equal to the number of valid hits.
  - Fixed issue where outputting to a file left a zero-byte file in pwd.
  - Improved parsing of operating systems.
  - Refactored log parser so it allows with ease the addition of new modules.
    This also attempts to decouple the core functionality from the rendering
    functions. It also gives the flexibility to add children metrics to root
    metrics for any module. e.g., Request A was visited by IP1, IP2, IP3, etc.
  - Restyled HTML output.

Changes to GoAccess 0.8.5 - Sunday, September 14, 2014

  - Fixed SEGFAULT when parsing a malformed request that doesn't have HTTP
    status.

  - Added excluded IP hits count to the general statistics panel on all reports.
  - Added HTTP nonstandard code '444' to the status code list.
  - Added the ability to count client errors (4xx) to the unique visitors count.
    Now by default it omits client errors (4xx) from being added to the unique
    visitors count as they are probably not welcomed visitors. 4xx errors are
    always counted in panels other than visitors, OS & browsers.
    `--4xx-to-unique-count`
  - Removed request status field restriction. This allows parsing logs that
    contain only a valid date, IPv4/6 and host.
  - Fixed issue when excluding IPv4/v6 ranges.
  - Fixed compile error due to missing include <sys/types.h> for type off_t (gcc
    4.1).

  - Added a '-V --version' command line option.
  - Added missing up/down arrows to the help section.

Changes to GoAccess 0.8.1 - Monday, June 16, 2014

  - Added ability to add/remove static files by extension through the config
    file.
  - Added ability to print backtrace on segmentation fault.

    output.
  - Make sure request string is URL decoded on all outputs.

Changes to GoAccess 0.8 - Tuesday, May 20, 2014

  - Added parsing progress metrics - total requests / requests per second.
  - Added the ability to parse a GeoLiteCity.dat to get the city given an IPv4.
  - Change the way the configuration file is parsed. This will parse all
    configuration options under ~/.goaccessrc or the specified config file and
    will feed getopt_long with the extracted key/value pairs. This also allows the
    ability to have comments on the config file which won't be overwritten.
  - Ensure autoconf determines the location of ncurses headers.
  - Fixed issue where geo_location_data was NULL.
  - Fixed issue where GoAccess did not run without a tty allocated to it.
  - Fixed potential memory leak on --log-file realpath().
  - Fixed Solaris build errors.
  - Implemented an on-memory hash database using Tokyo Cabinet. This
    implementation allows GoAccess not to rely on GLib's hash table if one is
    needed.
  - Implemented large file support using an on-disk B+ Tree database. This
    implementation allows GoAccess not to hold everything in memory but instead
    it uses an on-disk B+ Tree database.
  - Trimmed leading and trailing whitespaces from keyphrases module.
