Release Notes – 2023.06.22

June 22, 2023

Highlights

  • Traffic Reports updates related Google Analytics API deprecation 
    Over the past few months we’ve been preparing for the fact that Google is deprecating the previous version of Google Analytics, which is the backbone of our traffic reports system. This change will be active as of the end of this month, and as a result we’re releasing the final changes necessary to account for it. The Traffic Reports interface now has options to view data collected via the previous API version, and will show data collected via the new version by default moving forward.
  • New Google Ads settings
    We’ve added the ability to manage several Google Ads settings directly through our admin menu Ads interface. Specifically and most importantly, it is now possible to manage the “auto tagging” feature, which needs to be enabled on a user’s account in order for them to take advantage of our recently added “ads detected” registration settings. 
  • Fixed sorting by open house
    The option to sort search results by the presence of an active open house has not worked properly since a data storage update disrupted the previous implementation. This has been corrected, and this useful feature is working as intended once more.
