It now always gets the site’s active timezone.

The edit buttons were overlapping the module titles for right-to-left language websites.

In the Clicks report, the Target column was omitting any Hebrew characters in the URL. This likely was affecting other languages as well.

There was a fatal error on the page if a non-admin with permission to view the analytics but not edit them viewed the analytics before the “Getting Started Guide” notice was dismissed.

If you use the Admin Site Enhancements Pro plugin to disable the REST API, the warning that IA shows now recognizes if you have whitelisted the iawp/search route.

There was an incorrect class property name that could potentially trigger a fatal error upon activating Independent Analytics.

If you aren’t able to use a class to track a link, you can now use an element’s ID to track it instead.

You can set the IAWP_DISABLE_GEO_TRACKING constant to true in wp-config.php to disable geotracking.

On some sites, the required MMDB file fails to download and unzip. The retry mechanism attempts to resolve this on its own without requiring manual intervention.

The Buddy Boss theme, in particular, was affecting the styles of spinning icons in the UI.

The date picker is only scrollable on very short screens, so the scrollbar does not need to always be present.

The option to minify JS files was preventing the tracking script from firing, so it is now programmatically excluded from this option in their plugin

A check was added in case none of the recognized options for WP Cerber were found when checking for REST API compatibility.

It was possible for the option to delete all data to leave some tables on the site. That is now fixed.

It was possible for a cached DB value to cause the Overview report to repeatedly fetch the modules, leading to very high CPU usage.

The line charts could be displayed too short, but they now fill the available space.

There was a mistake that caused the buttons in each module to have an ugly white background show up behind them when hovering over the module header.

If resizing a pie chart from two columns to one column, it would display out of position.

There was an extreme edge case where a term or search results page could return the incorrect ID causing a fatal error to be triggered by IA.

If a system temp file was created for storing click data but then later became unreadable/unwritable, it would prevent clicks from getting tracked.

Referrers and Countries lists could be missing data when views from a session were both within and beyond the last five minutes.
