Tons of updates

[Ashant Chalasani]

I've been adding lots of fresh code in the past few weeks, about 50 submissions in 8 weeks) and introduced a number of new features.  As always unfortunately, documentation took back-seat and I've not been able update sf.net and this mailing list regularly.

The most meaningful new feature perhaps is Analytics, which now lets you track your mailing campaign performance.  You can track:

• Clicks - Which user clicked on which link, how many clicked, in absolute numbers and percentage of all recipients
• Views - Which user viewed the mail message
• Unsubscribes - How many opted out

Unfortunately I haven't worked out a mechanism to track bounces yet, primarily because there is no integration between the SMTP server doing the mailings, the MTA receiving the bounces and KIT.  Really could use conceptual ideas on this - email me.

Important development also has been refactoring the database into a full relational DB in Mysql (instead of SQLite in initial releases).  I just thought Mysql is more scalable.

Also significant is the introduction of realms - read at http://keepintouch.wiki.sourceforge.net/Realms
