Le Faux Magistrat
This release brings support of cookies that can be passed to phantomas, thanks to #49 implemented by @sjhcockrell.
Recent release introduced an issue caused by experimental implementation of communication between browser and phantomas. It's caused numerous PhantomJS crashes. Hopefully, #62 fixes this issue. Many thanks to @sjhcockrell for great help in debugging this one.
New module called javaScriptBottlenecks tracks calls to known JavaScript bottlenecks - eval (explicit or indirect by calling setTimeout and setInterval) and document.write. In debug mode backtraces are logged to ease debugging of slow parts of your site's JavaScript code.
Using --skip-modules option you can skip given module(s) and customize your metrics set.
An information about the percentage of time spent on backend vs frontend side of your application is emitted as a notice after the metrics (see #60).
More details can be found below.
