Plato 1.0.7 introduces support for various external login providers and also makes it super easy to now enable Google Analytics for your Plato site. We hope the external login support will help increase participation within your Plato site and the Google Analytics feature will provide you with more insight into how your visitors are using your Plato site.

External Logins
