New global user preferences for trends, graphing, and more
Preferences for trends, graphing, and a few other things have always been site-specific, but most customers want them to be the exact same for all of their sites. There's also the (large number of) people who have sub-user accounts who are at the mercy of the master account as to how these preferences are set.
We've gutted this mess and moved these preferences into the global user preferences page. Now every user has control over exactly how they want all of these settings to work. A screenshot of the new page is below.

Yup, we're still alive! Here's what we've been up to the last 5 months
It's been 5 months since our last blog post. Normally we are known for our constant updates and posts, so when people started asking us recently if we were still alive, that was understandable.
I am here to assure you, we are in fact still here and things are just fine! We did try to enjoy life a little this summer so things were definitely a bit slower, but we still pushed out plenty of updates. Not many of them warranted their own post, but we figured with people wondering our status, we'd let you know what's been happening since our last post in May.

HTML5 History API tracking
If you use the HTML5 History API on your site, good news! Clicky now automatically supports it.
This type of navigation typically only reloads a small portion of your page to inject new content, which means our tracking code (previously) would not be executed again since that part of the page would be static — unless you manually added calls to clicky.log or clicky.pageview when you executed history.pushState or history.replaceState.

New trend option: vs last year
We have a new trend comparison option that lets you compare reports and graphs vs the same date or date range from the previous year. For example, April 6 2014 vs April 6 2013, or April 1-6 2014 vs April 1-6 2013.
You can see this new option in the date menu for any graph:

HTML5 audio, embedded actions, tracking code verification, and better cookies
We wanted to let you all know about some of the bigger things we've released in the last month that you may not have noticed, because we didn't post about any of them - until now!
We've had support for HTML5 video tracking for a while, it simply required adding an additional javascript file to your code. This month we just added the ability to track audio as well. We combined video and audio together into their own report, now called "Media", since they are quite similar in terms of the metrics we track — and it's unlikely that many sites will have a mix of both.
