GoAccess 1.12 splits AI crawlers from search bots in web log reports.

◆ Current state

GoAccess is a mature open-source web log analyzer with a terminal UI and self-contained HTML reports. After 1.11's parsing and memory gains in July, 1.12 on September 16 adds a dedicated AI Crawlers category separating AI assistants and training bots from search crawlers, a Fediverse category, a live requests-per-second rate and an option to exclude traffic by ASN. It also refuses database restores whose grouping settings no longer match.

◆ Where it's heading

GoAccess is adapting its traffic classification to how sites are now crawled, with AI bots and Fediverse servers as distinct sources. Releases continue on a roughly two-to-five-month cycle.

◆ Prediction

Expect more bot classification and filtering options in the next release; timing is unclear.
