The funding goal was reached, and I'm starting a job next week. So
things should be grand!

Of course, you can still donate if you want to; it's just no longer
"needed-needed".

Many thanks,

And then now for the actual changelog:

This release requires Go 1.21.

Features:

  * Quite a few tables are rewritten to a more efficient format. For
    small to medium instances this will take a few minutes at the
    most, but if you have very large instances this may take a few
    hours. It also requires enough free disk space to rewrite the
    hits table.

    If you want to run steps manually then you can view the migration
    with:

    % goatcounter db migrate -show 2023-05-16-1-hits

    Or if you use PostgreSQL:

    % goatcounter db migrate -show -db postgresql+dbname=goatcounter 2023-05-16-1-hits

  * The User-Agent header is no longer stored; only the browser and
    system parsed out of there. It's pretty reliable, and especially
    mobile browser User-Agents are ridiculously unique. It was always
    stored only "in case the detection got it horribly wrong", but
    this has never been needed.

  * Add proxy option in serve -tls flag, to give a hint that a secure
    connection will be used, so we know what value to use for the
    cookie secure/samesite flags.

  * Add experimental "dark mode"; this needs to be enabled explicitly
    in the user settings. I need help to make this decent:
    #586 (comment)

  * Show difference of pageviews compared to previous period on the
    dashboard.

  * Make setup of a new installation a bit easier: instead of telling
    people to use the CLI, display a form when the database is 100%
    empty.

Fixes:

  * Collecting stats was broken when "sessions" was disabled in the
    site settings.

  * Use navigator.sendBeacon by default in count.js. This will allow
    using click events on things like PDF files and external URLs:

    <a href="file.pdf" data-goatcounter-event="file.pdf">
    <a href="http://example.com" data-goatcounter-event="ext-example.com">

  * Sometimes the order of pages was wrong when using PostgreSQL.

  * Few smaller bugfixes.
