Upgrading this gem from 0.0.6?
Use analytics_init to send submissions to Analytics if you are using multiple trackers. You can supply a name to tracker by passing :name option.
GoogleAnalytics::Events::SetAllowLinker is no longer supported as an external variable being set. You can submit as normal in the :add_events array, but using the new :setup config is preferable so no extra array searching has to happen.
GoogleAnalytics::Events::SetCustomVar is no longer supported by Universal Analytics. These have been changed to SetCustomDimension & SetCustomMetric. By default if you use SetCustomVar, it applies as a Dimension
GoogleAnalytics::Events::DeleteCustomVar has been removed
Added Event Helpers
TODO: Add Double Click Snippet Support While the code is there, and it looks like it is simply changing the end path to the JS, this feature has not been tested.
Ruby 1.8.7 Support While it should work on Ruby 1.8.7. No longer running test suite for it for CodeClimate Gem Requirements.
