During CodeGarden 11 a lot of people have been asking me about whether the Google Analytics package for Umbraco is still active, which is a totally valid question since nothing hasn't really happend for a year (no releases that is).

Ever since Umbraco 4.5 was launched at CodeGarden 10 I have been keen on getting it updated to run on version 4.5+, but also to make it better suited for future updates (i.e. v4.7 and v5). An updated version has however been delayed more than I ever anticipated due to various factors that I won't go into here.

Bottomline is that yes it IS active! I actually took 3 days off prior to CodeGarden 11 to try and finish it. There is however a lot of work involved, as I have made it loosely coupled, so the Core is seperated from whatever version of Umbraco you are running. This makes it easier for me to upgrade the package for different versions, and only have the views tied into Umbraco and using the Umbraco API. Current status is that the core data model is working and all of the unit tests are working, so what is left now is creating the views for Umbraco 4.7.

When I get a little more time I will go into more technical details about the package and how I made it different from the version couple of released version.

Meanwhile I hope you will be patient with me and an upcoming release - even though you already have been (and thanks for that!).

PS: I did make a #h5is tweet earlier in case you were wondering.
