Version 2.0.0
- **Architectural Transformation**:
    - Complete migration from Manifest V2 to **Manifest V3** (MV3).
    - Replaced persistent background page with a highly efficient **Service Worker** (`js/background.js`).
    - Migrated all legacy `chrome.extension` and `chrome.browserAction` calls to modern `chrome.runtime` and `chrome.action` APIs.
- **Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Integration**:
    - Shifted from legacy GA3/Universal Analytics to the official **GA4 Data API v1beta**.
    - Implemented **GA4 Admin API** for automatic property and account discovery.
    - Added support for both **Interval Reports** (Today, Week, Month) and **Real-time Statistics**.
- **Enhanced Metrics & Table View**:
    - Implemented a full 7-metric overview: **Sessions, Active Users, Pageviews, Avg. Views/Session, Time on Site, Bounce Rate, and New Users**.
    - Added **Manual Metric Calculation** for non-native GA4 metrics to ensure a 100% complete summary table.
    - Restored functional **Total** and **Average** footer rows with dynamic calculation based on current filters/search.
- **Classic UI & Polish**:
    - Perfect restoration of the **2011 classic "Grid" theme** for Highcharts visualizations.
    - Added **Deep Linking**: Direct "Open in GA4" icons for every row.
    - New **Badge Selector**: Choose exactly which property's active users should appear on the extension icon badge.
    - Implemented **Client-side Sorting** for all metrics in the property table.
    - Improved **Star/Favorite** logic with persistent local storage.
- **Security & Performance**:
    - **CSP Compliance**: Purged all forbidden external scripts (`ga.js`, `plusone.js`, `client.js`).
    - **Native Telemetry**: Built a custom analytics module using the GA4 Measurement Protocol for privacy-safe tracking.
    - Optimized OAuth2 authentication using `chrome.identity` with silent background token refreshing.
- **Localization**:
    - Modernized the internationalization engine (`data-transid`) to support the new dynamic DOM structure.


- **Technological Evolution (2011 vs 2026)**:
    - **From Monolith to Modules**: Deleted the legacy 1,230-line `script.js` spaghetti code from 2011. The logic is now modularized into clean, focused scripts: `popup.js` (UI), `background.js` (Service Worker), and `analytics.js` (Telemetry).
    - **15-Year Modernization**: This update bridges the gap between the initial 2011 release and the modern 2026 standards, moving from Manifest V1/V2 to the highly secure **Manifest V3**.
    - **Dual-Mode Architecture**: Created a flexible build system using `manifest_ext.json` and `manifest_app.json`, allowing the project to function as both a standard extension and a standalone Chrome Web App.
    - **UI/UX Modernization**:
        - The stylesheet `style.css` has grown by +1,500 lines to support responsive layouts, modern typography, and pixel-perfect element alignment.
        - Transitioned from legacy `sprites.png` to a modernized `sprites_new.png` asset set for crisper UI elements.
        - Integrated high-resolution assets (Retina support) for logos and icons.
    - **Library Refinement**: Upgraded core dependencies from jQuery 1.5/1.6 to 1.10.2 and modernized Highcharts with a modular structure, while surgically preserving the original 2011 "Grid" visual theme.
    - **Build Automation**: Added automated packaging workflows (`create-zip-app.bat`) and integrated legacy automation tools like `fart.exe` for streamlined deployment.
    - **Heritage Assets**: Preserved and organized the promotional history of the project, including assets for original sister-projects like *SteamDefense*, *AngryFarmer*, and *1100AD*.
