Updated to work with PHP 5.2 and 5.3... if you are using PHP 5.4, 5.5 or 5.6, you don't need to update.
Lots of new stuff...

Ability to do server-side tracking of users with Google Analytics Blockers installed (ends up being about 5% more traffic logged).

Tons of new Event tracking options (things like knowing when emails are sent, emails are opened by the recipient, what external links are being clicked, etc.)

Ability to set up your own Google API project for reporting on your Analytics data.

Keeps proper source/medium intact when user signs up with Facebook/Twitter/Google+ (also keeps it intact when they are making payments for something via PayPal).

Heatmaps - Great way to see what's going on by the hour/day.

Auto-tagging links in outbound emails to have users clicking those links to come to your site as a an "Email" source/medium.

Includes integration test/setup assistant (under Admin -> Tools).

You can watch events happening in realtime if you want:
