    Google analytics has a new tracking code: ga.js as an alternative to the old urchin.js.

    It says:

    So should I change the code with the new one or just leave it??

    What new features will they have?

    I changed mine today. I dont want to miss out on the new features!
    Nobody knows for sure yet, but im sure its just other ways to visualize the data.

    Ah, I found it.

    If you have an existing account, go to Edit, then Edit Profile Details, and then you can get the status of the domain and find the new code. I found the new code for all my sites.

    Thanks!

    The new code adds some sort of ecommerce feature. Google made it available several days ago.
    Well, I'm still using the old version for my older sites.
