added support for ip address anonymization #18

Closed ingooooooo closed 11 years ago

ingooooooo commented 11 years ago

I added a new option 

:anonymizeIp => true

for ip address anonymization. This is useful for sites hosted in Germany in order to meet legal requirements as described under #4 in the following document (in German):

see also the api docs:

Thank you @ingooooooo. I also need this because of the german data protection laws. Would be great if @leehambley or @smontgomerie could review and merge it.

leehambley commented 11 years ago

I'm fine with that being merged, but I don't have time to take responsibility for another release at the moment.

This is fine @leehambley.Thank you.
