-> devel-07.I.2008:
 + [V] Modified Login.php to log slightly more information per user (logs/vdpanel.txt). it also uses lib.Language now, instead of slow and rusty DB_GetLanguageEvent functions which should fix pl encoding on foreign servers and speedup the loading. still the whole plugin's code needs a lot of fixes and structural improvements which have to be done later...

 + [V] Added $_IVYUSER superglobal $_IVYCONFIG['site_www_addr'] recognizer to framework starter; also reorganized this file structure to be more handy

 + [E] Improved AdBanners generator to support excluding desired IPs from increasing display stats. session-based (to avoid CPU stressing). browser needs to be restarted if the host is allowed again


-> devel-04.XI.2007:
 + [E/D/S] Improved AdBanners statistics to gather each banner's display stats
