Version 6.x-2.0 is a complete rewrite of the Visitor Info module. The module now
relies on the GeoIP API module (http://drupal.org/project/geoip) and the free
MaxMind database to perform the geographical lookups.
Visitor Info is now much better integrated with Views which means that you can
customize what data is shown and how it is displayed.
As of November 15, 2010 - IPInfoDB.com APIs are changing. Now an API key is required in order to do lookups. The API key is free and only requires you to register by going to http://www.ipinfodb.com/register.php.
Version 6.x-1.6 of Visitor Info now includes a text box on the configuration page (/admin/settings/visitorinfo) to paste in your API key.
