They have dropped page hit counters and consequently most popular pages list as standard
features. They can be re-enabled through an extension.
I assume this is because it no longer being the 90's, most people track visit data through
google analytics or similar.
If anyone cares about the hit counters and wants them back then let me know and be prepared to
supply beer, coffee or chocolate. :)

Lots of other changes if anyone has time to go through them all. Some security enhancements,
most changes should be irrelevant to us and researching the relevant ones just takes the fun
out of life. So much better for them to be surprises. :-)

Cheers, Stephen.
