The weekly summary email gets a rewrite in the next version: a plain-language summary at the top, numbers that link straight into the filtered log, lists that tell you how much they are showing, and a cleaner layout with icons.

Premium 1.15.0 adds a Splunk channel for log forwarding, and fixes connection tests so they tell you what they actually tested.
