Fixed bug in FlickrJ

Bug Fix in library
There is a known bug in FlickrJ, which is a library that MyFlickr uses to communicate with Flickr. Basically, the bug appears when two threads tries to parse a Flickr XML response at the same time.
This happened quite often for MyFlickr, probably more than other users since MyFlickr is hosted on a quad-cpu server with slow cpu:s.

The bug has been fixed for myflickr and a patch has been submitted to the flickrj group at sourceforge.


Feature improvement
  • Improved traceability for Google Analytics, by adding user segments and virtual page names for redirected pages. This means that the statistics will make sense even for interactive pages.
  • Removed known exceptions from application log.
  • Minor improvements to download page.
