Another, and probably final, update to Surftrackr has just been uploaded. It includes an AJAX-based facility to show web accesses as they occur, which relies on the previously-announce live-logging feature. This is still experimental but seems to work well in tests.
The newest release can be downloaded from the usual place.
So, why "probably final"? I started this project shortly before Christmas 2007, and I've worked on it intensively since then. It's achieved my personal objecives, and taught me a number of new skills particularly around JavaScript and jQuery development. I've also enhanced my knowledge of the Django framework, and (I hope and believe) released into the wild a useful and powerful tool.
I shall continue to develop maintenance releases, and respond to bug reports. But for now, I have other projects I'd like to develop and I suspect Surftrackr is something of a niche-within-a-niche: Squid proxy users who also have a need to monitor web traffic fairly closely, perhaps within a school or security-conscious company. Frankly, I feel like a change of scene for a while, to develop something a bit more mainstream and (probably) less complex.
Therefore, please do not send any more feature requests! It's always a pleasure to hear from users, but I feel the software has reached a plateau and is as useful as it can be without full-time, ongoing development. I will probably spend the next couple of weeks working on the documentation (to reflect recent changes) and, after that, it's a hiatus of indeterminate duration until I feel like taking this further.
Thanks for taking an interest, and I hope Surftrackr continues to prove useful to you.
