GCount 0.1b (12-01-2000) x Initial Release on Freshmeat GCount 0.2a (12-03-2000) x Added the ability to ignore certain IP addresses. Now it won't log my own visits to the website x Fixed a problem that was causing Netscape hits to be reported as Mozilla x Made Windows NT 5.0 hits display as Windows 2000 just to be more readable GCount 0.2b (12-04-2000) x Fixed a bug in the mysql.txt file to make the database name correct thanks to Isaac Force for that one x Commented the mysql.txt code so that you can do a direct dump of it and have it create everything for you. x Added some authentication possibilities. This needs to be worked on more to get it working under Windows NT GCount 0.3 (12-04-2000) x Changed the rolling background colors to cycle instead of just repeat. Looks a little smoother now. x Removed GIF support, GCount is now 100% .PNG Some people were reporting problems making it work with .GIFs due to the fact that GD does NOT use .GIFs in the later later versions. x Added the option to ignore your own (or anyones) hits in the counter by matching against an IP address. x Basic Authentication should be working under Linux, I will have to develop a more robust authentication system that will be cross platform compatible. x Added the option to not recount someone visiting your site and hitting the refresh button several times, uses cookies. GCount 0.3b (12-04-2000) x Added the ability to store the FQDN of your visitors instead of just the IP address x Fixed a small bug that would not log the first hit to the counter if it was from an 'ignored' address. It now logs the first regardless of where it comes from, just to setup the counter in the database. GCount 0.4 (8-26-2001) x Changed the installation process to include a PHP based (web) installer. This should check to make sure your PHP/Apache/MySql installation has everything necessary to run Gcount. x Added "Prev" and "Next" to gcountinfo to allow you to view older/newer hits. GCount 0.5 (8-21-2002) x Updated the installation process to be a little more straight forward and give the user more control x Drastically improved the agent detection. GCount should be able to determine the browser/os for more than 30 (Mac, Linux, Windows, other) known combinatiosn, and guess fairly accurately at the rest x Extrapolated the MySQL code so it resides in one file (mysql.php) instead of having a little piece in all the scripts x Changed the table names that GCount uses, it should be more clear now GCount 0.5.5 (8-26-2002) x Thanks to "Tom Herzog" for helping test and for fixing my spelling errors x Thanks to David Palomares for pointing out an error in install.php script. It still had the old SQL table names which needed to be updated x A special thanks to Richard Gentry for making the snazzy new logo that GCount has needed for a long time
