ganalytics 2018-02-12

• Scope and negation of segment conditions can now be defined at the filter level.
• Fixed bug where backslashes were being escaped incorrectly in expression operands.
• The methods of the Segment generic function are now split into two generic functions, Segment and Segments.

ganalytics 2017-12-27

• Support for %starts_with% and %ends_with% operators in addition to %contains% which was incorrectly described as %starts_with% previously.

ganalytics 2015-12-12

ganalytics 2015-09-20

• Comparators are now generic functions with methods for supplying a .var (LHS) and .operand (RHS)

ganalytics 2015-09-18

• PerUser and PerSession can now be used instead of SegmentFilters to create a scoped segment filter list. Also, Include and Exclude have been added to add include and exclude (i.e negate) filters to a segment definition, rather than needing to use the negate argument of the Sequence and SegmentConditionFilter functions.
• Added function for generating a segment definition from a list where … can be used to mean ‘followed-by / Later’ prior to the next step in the sequence. Note this function uses non-standard evaluation.
• PerHit can be used to transform a condition filter into a sequence of length one, which offers a powerful form of segmentation where all conditions must be met for a single hit rather than scoped across sessions or users.
• Expr can now be used with a formula denoted by the prefix ~. This uses non-standard evaluation so that variable names and condition operators do not need to be surrounded by quotation marks.
• Added IsNegated generic function and method for testing whether a segment filter’s negated slot is set to TRUE.

ganalytics 2015-09-16
